1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) is a promising strategy to alleviate freshwater scarcity, with hygroscopic salts (e.g., LiCl) widely employed as active sorbents due to their high water affinity. However, practical deployment is hindered by the deliquescence of salts, which can lead to leakage, migration, and potential corrosion. Herein, we report a robust LiCl+CMC@cellulose composite foam fabricated via a scalable room-temperature impregnation-drying strategy. By introducing carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a polymeric stabilizer, we effectively immobilize LiCl within the cellulose scaffold through ionic coordination, suppressing salt aggregation and leakage. Benefiting from the hierarchical porous architecture of cellulose and this salt immobilization strategy, the optimized composite (treated by 15 wt% LiCl, 0.5 wt% CMC solution) achieves a high water uptake of 3.57 ± 0.15 g at 25°C and 90% relative humidity (RH) within 24 h, corresponding to 16.04± 0.82 g g
