An ultrathin ionic thermoelectric cell design utilizing near body heat for self-powered wearable electronics.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. 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
Harvesting low-grade heat is a sustainable way to power wearable electronics, and quasi-solid-state ionic thermoelectric cells offer a flexible, low-cost option. Their use, however, has been limited by a key trade-off: miniaturization reduces the internal thermal gradient and compromises performance. Here, we address this challenge with an ultrathin asymmetric architecture that separates thermal energy harvesting from the conventional reliance on a sustained through-plane temperature gradient. The design couples thermally driven ionic modulation at one interface with engineered pseudocapacitive charge storage at the other. Our 1-mm-thick device delivers an open-circuit voltage of 0.1 V, a power density of 1.6 W m
