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 have garnered extensive interest in heat harvesting and utilization owing to their high energy storage density and isothermal phase transition. Nevertheless, inherent leakage problems and low heat storage efficiencies hinder their widespread utilization. Nature has served as a great source of inspiration for addressing these challenges. Natural strategies are proposed to achieve advanced thermal energy management systems, and breakthroughs are made in recent years. This review focuses on recent advances in the structural design and functions of phase change materials from a natural perspective. By highlighting the structure-function relationship, advanced applications including human motion, medicine, and intelligent thermal management devices are discussed in detail. Finally, the views on the remaining challenges and future prospects are also provided, that is, phase change materials are advancing around the biomimicry design spiral.
