Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A key challenge in limiting the performance and safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIB), particularly at high discharge rates, is excessive heat generated during operation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the innovative use of encapsulated phase change materials (EPCMs) in a cooling system of a mini helical tube (MHT) in order to improve battery thermal management (BTM) in lithium-ion batteries. The results reveal that increasing the Reynolds number (Re) from 50 to 100 at 4% EPCM concentration (C) results in a reduction of 5.26 K and 2.48 K at the average outlet temperature (To) and the LIB temperature (TLIB). Furthermore, raising the C from 0 to 4% resulted in a 1.39 K decrease in TLIB at Re = 100. Moreover, the Nusselt number (Nu) is significantly improved with both Re and C, with Nu increasing by 36.35% when Re is changed from 50 to 100, while Nu increases by 178.4% when EPCM is added at Re = 50.
