Transparent Photothermal Superhydrophobic Coating With Structured Micrometer-Scale Regular Arrays for Anti-/De-Icing.
Article in Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany), 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
Photothermal superhydrophobic coatings hold great promise for anti-icing applications. However, insufficient transparency and poor durability are the main factors limiting their practical application. To address these challenges, we have designed a transparent photothermal superhydrophobic coating that primarily offers two advantages: first, a regular array structure is constructed on the surface to enhance durability; and second, selective absorption of the solar spectrum is employed to achieve efficient photothermal conversion. Under one standard solar irradiation (1-sun), the coating exhibits a temperature rise of 40.17°C while maintaining a visible‑light transmittance of 73.57%. At -15°C, the coating achieves a delayed ice time of 653 s, while its de-icing and de-frosting times reach 337 and 155 s, respectively. Notably, after 50 de-icing cycles, the coating still maintains a high contact angle (152°) and a low sliding angle (8°). These properties are attributed to the synergistic interaction between the micrometer-scale regular structure on the coating surface and its spectrally selective absorption capability. This study provides a feasible strategy for developing high-performance transparent anti-icing and de-icing coatings.
