The study revealed several important trends in the evolution of cosmic filaments. As the Universe transitioned from a neutral to an ionized state, the density distribution of the filamentary network changed significantly. Higher-density filaments became more prevalent over time, reflecting the effects of gravitational collapse and radiative feedback from ionizing sources. By contrast, lower-density regions of the network diminished, likely due to the combined effects of radiation pressure and the hierarchical growth of structure.

Temperature profiles showed a clear increase as a function of decreasing redshift, highlighting the progressive heating of the IGM by ionizing sources. High-density filaments developed distinct thermal envelopes, with peak temperatures observed at increasing distances from their central axes over time. This outward expansion of the heated regions suggests a dynamic interplay between radiation and the gravitational potential of the filaments. Interestingly, while lower-density filaments also experienced heating, they lacked the pronounced temperature peaks seen in their higher-density counterparts.
