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

Interfacial solar evaporation holds promise for desalination but suffers from salt accumulation and unutilized salinity-gradient energy. Conventional salt-rejection strategies largely rely on passive diffusion, which is frequently compromised under high salinity. Here, we propose an ion permeation strategy using a zwitterionic hydrogel evaporator. The charge-balanced hydrogel network enables downward ion permeation while suppressing upward water convection, thereby preventing interfacial crystallization. As a proof-of-concept, a zwitterionic hydrogel evaporator featuring spatially separated channels for brine convection and ion permeation was engineered. It sustained high evaporation rates over 3.50 kg m
