Exploiting chemical bonding principles to design high-performance thermoelectric materials.
Review in Nature reviews. Chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 materials offer unique opportunities to convert otherwise wasted thermal energy into useful electrical energy. Many of the traditional thermoelectric materials, such as bismuth telluride and lead telluride, contain scarce and toxic elements. This has motivated the search for new high-performance materials containing readily-available and environmentally-less-damaging elements. Numerous advances in the development of high-performance thermoelectric materials exploit fundamental chemical-bonding principles. Much of the thermoelectric literature lies at the interface of chemistry, physics and materials science. In this Review, progress in the design of high-performance materials is discussed in terms of ideas that are familiar in chemistry. This includes the influence of concepts such as bonding heterogeneity, covalency, polarizability, lone pairs and different bonding models, including multi-centre, metallic and iono-covalent archetypes. In this way, we seek to present aspects of this diverse field of research in terms that are accessible to the chemistry community.
