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

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are promising materials for wide-ranging applications. Challenges with coating them onto surfaces have however limited their wider implementation in practice. We report an acoustomicrofluidic nebulization platform that enables rapid, one-step synthesis of highly crystalline COFs and their direct deposition as a coating under ambient conditions. Demonstrated with both two- and three-dimensional imine-based COFs, the method yields uniform COF films with nanometer to micrometer thicknesses, tuned simply by adjusting the nebulization time. Unlike conventional COF coating approaches, this strategy eliminates the need for any postsynthetic substrate heating or processing, thereby offering a general and scalable route for fabricating functional COF coatings on a variety of sensitive and complex substrates, including living tissue. As proof of concept, we demonstrate that COFs can constitute protective coatings on plant leaves for solar ultraviolet shielding, thus highlighting the potential of the platform to extend the deployment of COFs in real-world devices, biological systems, and environmental interfaces.
