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 electrochemical Peltier (ECP) effect utilizes the entropy change of a redox reaction to cool the electrolyte. This perspective aims to provide an overview of the ECP effect, from its fundamental principles and historical studies to recent developments in ECP-based refrigeration, emphasizing strategies to enhance performance through both device engineering and molecular design. A standard measurement protocol is proposed for the quantitative analysis of the intrinsic ECP effect that is separated from the temperature fluctuation of the experimental environment and irreversible thermal processes such as Joule heating. Recent device engineering, including the circulation of the liquid electrolyte and the combination of two different redox pairs to form the p-n junction, shows a drastic improvement in the refrigeration. Moreover, recent molecular approaches, including supramolecular host-guest interactions, proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reaction, and redox-induced coil-globule transitions, have demonstrated significant enhancement in the redox entropy and cooling performance. These studies reveal that interdisciplinary collaboration among thermal engineering, electrochemistry, and supramolecular chemistry has led the today's successful development of the ECP refrigeration technology.
