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

Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) materials require high solar reflectance and high atmospheric window emissivity. However, high solar reflectance achieved by scattering strategies often relies on porous structures, which can compromise the material's mechanical reliability. To address this trade-off, we develop a layered alumina nanofiber membrane (LANM) by dual-nozzle electrospinning with programmed alternating deposition, in which alternating deposition and subsequent removal of alumina precursor layers and sacrificial polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) interlayers generate a continuously layered architecture with periodic interfaces and interlayer air gaps. This interfacial geometric design enables simultaneous regulation of solar-band scattering and bending load transfer within a single alumina system. Because photon flux attenuates with depth, shallow interfaces contribute more strongly than deeper ones; therefore, the micro-layered architecture enhances scattering while maintaining high emissivity in the atmospheric window. In outdoor testing, LANM achieved a maximum sub-ambient temperature reduction of ~5.8 °C, representing a further improvement of about 2.4 °C compared to Monolithic alumina nanofiber (ANM). Moreover, interlayer interfaces induce a multiple-neutral-axis mechanism and segmented stress transfer, thereby improving bending deformability rather than load-bearing strength.
