Study of Capric-Palmitic Acid/Clay Minerals as Form-Stable Composite Phase-Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage.
Article in ACS omega, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
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
As an important method to effectively improve energy efficiency, the study of thermal energy storage is particularly important. In this study, six types of clay mineral-based form-stable phase-change materials (FSPCMs) were prepared by the vacuum adsorption method. The adsorption capacity of vermiculite and diatomite was satisfactory, and sepiolite showed the worst adsorption capacity. Clay minerals can delay the thermal decomposition rate of capric-palmitic acid (CA-PA), and the specific surface area and pore capacity of clay minerals all decrease dramatically after the clay minerals have absorbed CA-PA. FSPCMs exhibited a higher heat storage and release efficiency and reflects a certain temperature control performance. In addition, only physical adsorption between the CA-PA and the clay material occurred, and no chemical reaction occurred. Finally, FSPCMs still have high latent heat of phase transition, and they can be used for low-temperature thermal energy storage.
