Heat Dissipation Mechanisms in Hybrid Superconductor-Semiconductor Devices Revealed by Joule Spectroscopy.
Article in Nano letters, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Understanding heating and cooling mechanisms in mesoscopic superconductor-semiconductor devices is crucial for their application in quantum technologies. Owing to their poor thermal conductivity, heating effects can drive superconducting-to-normal transitions even at low bias, observed as sharp conductance dips through the loss of Andreev excess currents. Tracking such dips across magnetic field, cryostat temperature, and applied microwave power allows us to uncover cooling bottlenecks in different parts of a device. By applying this "Joule spectroscopy" technique, we analyze heat dissipation in devices based on InAs-Al nanowires and reveal that cooling of superconducting islands is limited by the rather inefficient electron-phonon coupling, as opposed to grounded superconductors that primarily cool by quasiparticle diffusion. We show that powers as low as 50-150 pW are able to suppress superconductivity on the islands. Applied microwaves lead to similar heating effects but are affected by the interplay of the microwave frequency and the effective electron-phonon relaxation time.
