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

The large amount of waste underwear generated has a considerable impact on the environment. Searching for more sustainable underwear materials and designs is important for effective air, thermal, and moisture management. However, sustainable cotton underwear is much less effective in moisture transport and in inhibiting the growth of bacteria and mites. Here, a hierarchically porous knitted fabric (HPKF) made from sustainable cotton and polylactic acid (PLA) fiber materials, constructed using an asymmetrical knitting pore design, is developed. The HPKF not only shows excellent moisture management compared to cotton fabric but also achieves a remarkable 27% increase in water evaporation rate. Furthermore, this design outperforms existing directional water transport fabrics by introducing antibacterial and antimite properties in its inner layer. The sustainable design and manufacturing processes align with the current textile industry infrastructure, offering enormous potential environmental benefits.
