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

Angle-sensitive sunlight absorption in state-of-the-art photothermal anti-icing surfaces becomes an Achilles' heel: geometric shadowing and Fresnel reflection critically degrade broadband harvesting under oblique (incident light >45°) or low solar irradiation (<0.3 sun). Herein, we bridge the angular-thermodynamic paradox via laser-engineered Janus microcavities, where protruding topology maximizes oblique photon capture while recessed-bottom architectures suppress thermal conduction. This dual-scale engineering enables rapid de-icing in extreme environments (within 25 min at -20
