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 development of soft mechanocaloric materials is becoming increasingly important due to the growing demand for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly thermoregulation solutions. Here the mechanocaloric effects in soft materials, which can convert mechanical energy into heat energy, is discussed, and their applications in sensing, therapeutics, and thermoregulation is explored. It begins by introducing the principles of the mechanocaloric effect and recent advances in its study within soft materials' systems. Then applications of mechanocaloric effects in personalized healthcare and sustainable energy is explored. Finally, the importance of identifying soft materials with high mechanocaloric coefficients and low manufacturing costs is emphasized to broaden their applicability. Additionally, a comprehensive perspective on mechanocaloric effects is provided for both heating and cooling applications, emphasizing the transformative potential of soft mechanocaloric materials in various fields.
