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

When quasi-solid-state ionic thermoelectric (i-TE) devices transition from ideal laboratory testing platforms to real-world wearable applications, the main challenge shifts from electrochemical conversion efficiency to the adaptability of physical application scenarios. This study is based on a dynamic supramolecular hydrogen bonding system composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6), and choline chloride (ChCl), and the synergistic regulation of carrier (proton) ionization equilibrium according to Le Chatelier's principle. This system endows the i-TE gel elastomer with excellent stretchability, self-healing ability, recyclability, and a large ionic thermopower. Specifically, the PVA-IP6-ChCl ternary ionogel achieved a remarkable thermopower of 53.92 millivolts per kelvin and a high ionic conductivity of 10.64 millisiemens per centimeter at 80% relative humidity. Furthermore, this gel elastomer exhibited skin-like tensile stress (580 kilopascal) and Young's modulus (150 kilopascal), and its thermoelectric performance remained stable during repeated self-healing and stretching cycles. The development of this multifunctional thermoelectric gel elastomer provides an important demonstration for advancing i-TE technology from high efficiency to high applicability.
