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

Window components play a crucial role in managing heat transfer in buildings, but traditional passive windows often fail to adapt to varying environmental conditions, which impact occupant comfort. To overcome this limitation, this study presents the novel concept of PDLC integrated between two layers of transparent wood (PITW) glazings, showcasing their dual capability for dynamic light modulation and thermal insulation across multiple wood species and establishing their significant energy-saving and daylighting potential for adaptive building envelopes in diverse climatic zones. Also, this integration concept of PITW glazing enhances energy efficiency, thermal insulation, and the ability to regulate heat gain and loss. To validate these benefits, this study experimentally analyzes the solar and material characteristics of four different PITW glazings utilizing balsa, poplar, pine, and bamboo (designated as PITW
