Expanded Vermiculite/D-Mannitol as Shape-Stable Phase Change Material for Medium Temperature Heat Storage.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Aiming to promote the application of D-mannitol in the field of phase change thermal storage, obstacles, including low thermal storage efficiency and high supercooling, should be properly disposed of. The adoption of adaptable and low-cost supporting materials to make shape-stable phase change materials (ss-PCMs) affordable is a primary solution to solve the above shortcomings. In this study, high-performance ss-PCM for effective medium-temperature heat storage was prepared using expanded vermiculite as the support for D-mannitol preservation. Among the three candidates that treated the raw vermiculite by dilute acid, calcination, and microwave heating, the calcinated expanded vermiculite (CV) was characterized as the most suitable one. After impregnating D-mannitol into the CV carrier by vacuum, a melting enthalpy of 205.1 J/g and a crystallization enthalpy of 174.1 J/g were achieved by the as-received CV/D-mannitol ss-PCM. Additionally, the supercooling of the ss-PCM was reduced to 45.6 °C. The novel CV/D-mannitol ss-PCM also exhibited excellent reusability and stability. All the findings indicate that the abundant and inexpensive CV exhibited great potential as the supporting material for D-mannitol-based ss-PCMs, which allow effective waste heat recovery and temperature regulation.
