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

Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) is limited by the high energy demand for sorbent regeneration, while battery thermal management dissipates substantial low-grade heat unused. Here, we propose a thermally symbiotic architecture integrating these systems. Battery discharge waste heat regenerates a MOF-303 sorbent layer via desorption, while the sorption process passively stabilizes battery temperature. The sorbent's regeneration enthalpy aligns with the battery's thermal output, triggering desorption under -12 to -20 A discharge. Within 46 min, the MOF exceeds 50 °C, releasing vapor for condensation in a sealed setup. Concurrently, sorption extracts heat from the battery, reducing peak temperatures by ~10 °C. Notably, this integrated system achieves a water production rate of 1.39 g g
