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

Chromic materials exhibiting reversible changes in optical properties under external stimuli represent an important class of smart materials with applications in smart windows, sensors, and optoelectronic devices. Transition-metal oxides (TMOs) provide a versatile platform for chromic functionality due to their coupled structural, electronic, and optical properties. In this review, the chromic response of selected TMO thin films is analyzed using both microscopic and phenomenological approaches. The microscopic description is based on many-body theory, including Green's function methods and correlation effects, while the macroscopic optical response is described using Drude-Lorentz and Tauc-Lorentz models within the effective medium approximation. Chromic behavior in TMOs is shown to originate from two principal mechanisms: (i) electronic and structural reconstruction driven by Peierls-Mott metal-insulator phase transitions, leading to thermochromism (notably in VO
