Scalable irradiance-adaptive electrochromic shading for photothermal regulation.
Article in Nature communications, 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
Agricultural production in hot climates requires effective photothermal regulation under fluctuating solar conditions. Electrochromic devices offer a promising route for dynamic photothermal regulation, yet their deployment in real-world agricultural environments remains limited by challenges in scalability, durability, and system-level integration. Here, we show a scalable, solar-powered, irradiance-adaptive electrochromic shading system that autonomously regulates photosynthetically active radiation and suppresses ultraviolet and near-infrared radiation under fluctuating outdoor conditions without external energy input. The electrochromic devices exhibit large optical contrast and robust operational stability during tropical outdoor exposure. Field deployment in tropical agriculture reduces crop-surrounding temperature by up to 3.8 °C while maintaining optimal conditions for photosynthesis. Consequently, crops grown under electrochromic shading exhibit 23.7-64% increases in vitamin C, total sugar, and pigments, together with a 235% increase in biomass yield compared with a conventional shading system. Cultivation modeling further reveals substantial cooling-energy savings across diverse climate zones during hot seasons.
