Recent Developments in Flexible Thermoelectric Devices.
Article in Small science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Flexible thermoelectrics, including flexible thermoelectric materials and devices, can directly convert the heat from human body into useful electricity, providing a promising solution for uninterrupted power to wearables. In the past decade, flexible thermoelectrics has achieved notable progress. Various kinds of flexible thermoelectric materials have been developed and some of them have been fabricated into flexible thermoelectric devices, showing the ability to generate nW-level or even μW-level electricity. Herein, the basic design principles and typical configurations of flexible thermoelectric devices, as well as the requirements on thermoelectric materials to achieve high performance flexible thermoelectric devices, are first introduced. Then, the recent progress achieved in flexible thermoelectric devices based on organics materials, traditional inorganic materials, other organic/inorganic composites/hybrids, and plastic deformable inorganic semiconductors, respectively, are summarized. Finally, an outlook on the future development of flexible thermoelectrics is briefly given. This study sheds light on the further development of flexible thermoelectrics.
