WC/C Composite as an Efficient Photothermal Material for Solar-Driven Seawater Evaporation.
Article in Nanomaterials (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Solar-driven interfacial water evaporation has been recognized as an effective measure to address freshwater scarcity. Photothermal materials lie at the core of this process and have been extensively studied. However, conventional carbon-based materials typically suffer from high thermal emissivity, leading to significant heat loss. Here, we report a tungsten carbide/carbon composite polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel evaporator (PWC) for solar-driven interfacial seawater evaporation. Specifically, a tungsten carbide/carbon (WC/C) composite was synthesized via a straightforward one-step molten salt coating method and exhibited a remarkable photothermal conversion efficiency of 67.1%, attributed to the plasmon resonance absorption effect of WC nanoparticles. When incorporated into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel via a physical-chemical dual-crosslinking strategy, the resulting PWC evaporator achieved a high evaporation rate of 2.99 kg m
