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

Accelerating global warming has intensified the need for sustainable, low-energy cooling strategies. Subambient radiative cooling is a compelling solution, passively dissipating heat to outer space via mid-infrared emission without external energy input. However, its performance depends on atmospheric conditions, especially low humidity and clear skies. Although its global potential is well-established, its performance under typical weather conditions and integration with sustainable water cycling technologies remain underexplored. This review examines how radiative cooling can be integrated with water-related technologies-including atmospheric water harvesting, sustainable agriculture, and radiative-evaporative cooling-to reduce thermal loads while improving water sustainability.
