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

Phase change materials (PCMs) can alleviate concerns over energy to some extent by reversibly storing a tremendous amount of renewable and sustainable thermal energy. However, the low thermal conductivity, low electrical conductivity, and weak photoabsorption of pure PCMs hinder their wider applicability and development. To overcome these deficiencies and improve the utilization efficiency of thermal energy, versatile carbon materials have been increasingly considered as supporting materials to construct shape-stabilized composite PCMs. Despite some carbon-based composite PCMs reviews regarding thermal conductivity enhancement, a comprehensive review of carbon-based composite PCMs does not exist. Herein, a systematic overview of recent carbon-based composite PCMs for thermal storage, transfer, conversion (solar-to-thermal, electro-to-thermal and magnetic-to-thermal), and advanced multifunctional applications, including novel metal organic framework (MOF)-derived carbon materials are provided. The current challenges and future opportunities are also highlighted. The authors hope this review can provide in-depth insights and serve as a useful guide for the targeted design of high-performance carbon-based composite PCMs.
