Bio-Inspired Mesoporous Solar Evaporator Enabled by Upcycled PET.
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
Solar-driven interfacial steam generation (ISSG) has emerged as a promising strategy for decentralized freshwater production. However, developing scalable solar evaporators that combine high evaporation performance, environmental compatibility, and stable operation under varying solar angles remains challenging. Here, we report a compound-eye-inspired three-dimensional solar evaporator based on graphite-containing PET nanofoam (GPF). The GPF was produced by upcycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste. The nonsolvent-induced phase separation process produces a mesoporous and moldable structure with tunable water transport properties, enabling the construction of hemispherical multi-surface evaporators. This architecture provides angle-insensitive solar exposure and an enlarged water-wetted evaporative interface within a fixed projected footprint. As a result, the optimized evaporator achieved a projected-area-normalized evaporation rate of 3.44 kg m
