Topological insulators for thermoelectrics: A perspective from beneath the surface.
Review in Innovation (Cambridge (Mass.)), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Thermoelectric properties of topological insulators have traditionally been examined in the context of their metallic surface states. However, recent studies have begun to unveil intriguing thermoelectric effects emerging from the bulk electronic states of topological insulators, which have largely been overlooked in the past. Charge transport phenomena through the bulk are especially important under typical operating conditions of thermoelectric devices, necessitating a comprehensive review of both surface and bulk transport in topological insulators. Here, we review thermoelectric properties that are uniquely observed in topological insulators, placing special emphasis on unconventional phenomena emerging from bulk states. We demonstrate that unusual thermoelectric effects arising from bulk states, such as band inversion-driven warping, can be discerned in experiments through a simple analysis of the weighted mobility. We believe that there is still plenty to uncover within the bulk of topological insulators, yet our current understanding can already inspire new strategies for designing and discovering new materials for next-generation thermoelectrics.
