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

Interfacial solar-driven seawater desalination has attracted significant attention. However, achieving both high evaporation rates and excellent salt resistance through advanced structural design and material optimization remains a considerable challenge. Inspired by coiled structures, this study presents a coil-structured solar evaporator (C-SPCH) fabricated by coiling a composite hydrogel containing carbonized hair, sodium alginate, and PVA (poly-(vinyl alcohol)). Its coiled architecture enables fast capillary channels and interconnected pores for enhanced water transport and salt tolerance. The irregular surface structure notably increases light-harvesting efficiency, while embedded hydrophilic groups smartly control water molecule states, cutting evaporation enthalpy. Therefore, the C-SPCH evaporator exhibits exceptional performance, achieving an evaporation rate of up to 5.36 kg·m
