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

Radiative cooling materials, which passively dissipate heat by reflecting sunlight and emitting infrared radiation through the atmospheric window, hold transformative potential for energy-efficient and sustainable thermal management. In particular, biomass-derived coolers have gained attention for their natural optical properties and environmental compatibility. However, such materials often depend on energy-intensive or complex processing to achieve the necessary photonic structures, while their limited mechanical strength and durability restrict practical outdoor application. Here, we report a high-performance, fully recyclable radiative cooling biocomposite fabricated directly from natural wood through an energy-efficient top-down approach that combines multi-stage crystalline restructuring with nanostructural assembly. This design synergistically combines enhanced cellulose crystallinity, capillary-driven self-densification, and hydrogen-bonded nanofiller networks to achieve exceptional mechanical properties (416.7 MPa tensile strength) and unprecedented cooling power (106 W/m
