1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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-plane thermoelectric thin-film cooling devices are considered a promising solution for thermal management in electronic systems. However, the actual cooling performance is far below that of regular bulk cooling devices, making the design of thin-film devices much more difficult. In this work, a numerical analysis of the cooling performance of single-leg thin-film devices and multi-stage cascaded thin-film devices was conducted to understand the depressed cooling performance. The effects of input current, operating environment, substrate, and contact resistance on cooling performance were investigated and compared with the experimental data. The results show that under ideal conditions, including vacuum environment, absence of substrate, and no contact resistance, the maximum cooling temperature difference simulated by the finite element method (105.4 K) closely matches the theoretical value estimated from the
