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

The porous powdered composites, containing metal halide salts are being used to enhance the storage of cold thermal energy storage (CTES) medium such as ammonia for efficient cooling systems. However, due to the low mass transfer attributable to agglomeration, reduction in pore accessibility, and sample loss, the powdered samples face challenges translating from lab to pilot scale. Conversely, the structuring of composites in beads and pallets can modify the surface chemistry and adsorption mechanism. To investigate the impact of structuring, a comparative analysis of pure, calcium chloride (CaCl Graphical Abstract: Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s42247-025-01106-8.
