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

As display technology shifts from simple illumination to versatile human-computer interaction, visibility in bright environments and human adaptability (i.e., flexibility) become increasingly important. Reflective displays offer a compelling advantage for outdoor use due to their sunlight readability and low power consumption. Particularly, liquid crystals are ideal for fabricating full-color flexible displays because of their rich color gamut and soft-matter nature. However, integrating cholesteric liquid crystals onto fibrous substrates remains challenging due to coating instability caused by highly curved surface and insufficient mechanical robustness under bending and stretching. Herein, a coaxial winding structure is employed to suppress instability during coating. And a polymer dispersed liquid crystal system is introduced to stabilize the liquid crystals with maintained electric-field response. Subsequently, multicolor pixels were formed by interfacing with transparent conductive fibers, achieving a contrast ratio of 2.09 even under 10 000 lux ambient light. These interconnected structures formed woven arrays that electrically switch between reflective and transparent states. The textile showed excellent spatial uniformity with less than 5% contrast fluctuation. Moreover, we demonstrated digital displays and visual camouflage applications based on the liquid crystal textiles, which validates this platform for high-ambient-light applications.
