Heat flux concentrator based on nanophononic metamaterials.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Heat flux concentrators have important potential applications in thermoelectric generators. In this study, we demonstrated the heat flux concentration characteristic in nanophononic metamaterials using molecular dynamics simulations. The ratio of heat flux (RHF) is used to evaluate the concentration performance, the RHF can reach 1.62. The performance is optimized by varying the height of the nanopillar and the atomic mass of the atoms in the nanopillar. Increasing the atomic mass of the atoms in the nanopillars yields better performance. We found that the main mechanism for concentration is phonon localization in the nanopillar region. Furthermore, when the distance from the surface increases, the low-frequency peak of phonon density of states (PDOS) decreases, the high-frequency peak increases, and the mode participation rate (MPR) transforms from localized to delocalized. This work provides a new design of heat flux concentrator based on nanophononic metamaterials for regulating thermal conduction.
