Strategic vacancy engineering advances record-high ductile AgCu(Te, Se, S) thermoelectrics.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
AgCu(Te, Se, S) alloys, as one of the rare p-type plastic inorganic thermoelectrics, are receiving striking attention for their application foreground in high-performing flexible thermoelectric generators. However, strategies to enhance their thermoelectric performance while maintaining exceptional plasticity remain largely unexplored. Here, we introduce a strategic vacancy-engineering approach to address this challenge. Using computational design as a guide, we carefully tune the cation vacancy concentration to optimize hole carrier concentration, achieving impressive ZTs of ~0.62 at 300 K and ~0.83 at 343 K in (AgCu)
