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 pursuit of energy-efficient technologies is crucial for achieving sustainability amid rising global energy demands and climate concerns. MXenes-a class of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides-have recently attracted significant attention in thermoelectric (TE) research due to their outstanding electrical conductivity, tunable surface chemistry, and unique layered structures. This review uniquely focuses on the integration of MXenes into flexible and wearable platforms, offering a systematic analysis of material innovations specifically tailored to mechanical compliance. Beyond material-level transport properties, we critically evaluate actual device-level demonstrations, including fabrication strategies for flexible TE generators (f-TEGs), that achieve impressive outputs, such as Seebeck voltages of up to 399.9 mV for 200 p-n modules. To assist readers in gauging progress, we provide a comprehensive comparative analysis of diverse MXene architectures, summarized in a quantitative benchmark table covering Seebeck coefficients (S), electrical conductivity (σ), power factor (PF), and ZT values. Notably, experimental optimization has led to performance breakthroughs, with MXene-based flexible films exhibiting power factors exceeding 2100 µW m
