Thermal Side-Channel Threats in Densely Integrated Microarchitectures: A Comprehensive Review for Cyber-Physical System Security.
Review in Micromachines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Densely integrated microarchitectures spanning three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D-ICs), chiplet-based designs, and system-in-package (SiP) assemblies make heat a first-order security concern rather than a mere reliability issue. This review consolidates the landscape of thermal side-channel attacks (TSCAs) on densely integrated microarchitectures: we systematize observation vectors and threat models, clarify core concepts and assumptions, compare the most credible evidence from the past decade, and distill the main classes of defenses across the hardware-software stack. We also explain why hardening against thermal leakage is integral to cyber-physical system (CPS) security and outline the most promising research directions for the field. The strategic relevance of this agenda is reflected in current policy and funding momentum, including initiatives by the United States Department of Homeland Security and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (DHS/CISA) on operational technology (OT) security, programs by the National Science Foundation (NSF) on CPS, and Canada's Regional Artificial Intelligence Initiative and Cyber-Physical Resilience Program (RAII, >CAD 35 million), to bridge advanced microelectronics with next-generation cybersecurity. This survey offers a clear, high-level map of the problem space and a focused baseline for future work.
