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 radiative cooling, which reflects solar irradiation while emitting heat through the atmospheric window, provides a sustainable solution for zero-energy thermal management. Simultaneously achieving high solar reflectivity and infrared emissivity remains challenging since the structural parameters governing light scattering and thermal radiation are intrinsically coupled. A block copolymer composite (denoted SEDO) of polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-ran-butylene)-block-polystyrene (SEBS) with 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) was judiciously designed and architected through multiscale phase segregation to enable decoupled structure-determined spectral regulation. Macroscopic phase segregation in SEDO endows three-dimensionally interconnected porous skeleton that enhances broadband Mie scattering, resulting in a high solar reflectivity of 97.2%. Meanwhile, DOPO fillers that selectively located in the polystyrene domains introduce strong molecular vibrational absorption within the atmospheric window. The cylindrical microphase separation morphology enables an emissivity of 95.5% with only 5 vol% additive. Benefiting from this decoupled optical regulation, the composite achieves sub-ambient cooling of ∼8.1°C under clear-sky conditions and ∼6.3°C under cloudy conditions, while maintaining efficient heat dissipation under high heat flux. Combined with excellent mechanical flexibility, flame retardancy, and environmental stability, this multiscale phase segregation strategy provides a versatile platform for augmented radiative cooling in practical thermal-management applications via crafting spatially deterministic block copolymer composites.
