Temperature Gradients as a Data Storage Principle.
Article in Entropy (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. 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
In this work, we analyze the thermodynamic principles underlying modern data storage systems, including Random Access Memory (RAM), hard disk drive (HDD), flash memory, magnetic RAM (MRAM), ferroelectric RAM (FeRAM), and phase-change RAM (PCRAM), as well as other less well-known data storage mechanisms. The analysis is conducted in the context of data storage and processing in relation to Landauer's principle, with special emphasis on hysteresis. Analogous to how heat engines are characterized by thermodynamic cycles, data storage systems are examined in terms of the hysteresis loop of their fundamental data unit. We explore the role of heat in data storage systems. Afterward, we introduce the concept of temperature gradient memory (TeGraM) along with a detailed layout of a realizable device. Experimental results demonstrating this technology are also presented.
