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

Molecular solar thermal storage (MOST) systems have gained increasing attention in the past years after an intense initial exploration phase around five decades ago. Over time multiple terms have been circulating in the literature, such as solar thermal fuels or solar thermal batteries. Besides clarifying the nomenclature, we introduce the term "mostophore" as a molecular entity able to harvest and store light energy in the form of heat. Furthermore, we revisit the requirements for practical systems and put the concept in a historic perspective with a future outlook.
