Article in Small science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Due to the direct conversion between thermal and electrical energy, thermoelectric materials and their devices exhibit great potential for power generation and refrigeration. With the rapid development of personal wearable electronics, the design of flexible inorganic thermoelectric materials and devices receives increasing attention. As one of the most mature thin-film fabrication techniques, magnetron sputtering plays a key role in the fabrication of inorganic thermoelectric thin films and devices, but its progress is still not timely and comprehensively reviewed. Herein, recent advances in magnetron sputtering-fabricated thermoelectric materials and devices are studied, including their thermoelectric properties, mechanical properties, and device design routes. The differences in the properties of thermoelectric materials under different sputtering conditions, as well as their underlying mechanisms, are carefully discussed. In the end, it is pointed out the challenges and future directions for magnetron sputtering-prepared inorganic thermoelectric thin-film materials and devices for practical applications. This review can serve as a useful reference to guide the design of inorganic thermoelectric materials and devices prepared by magnetron-sputtering-based deposition techniques.
