Robust topological temperature localization in thermal rock-paper-scissors chain.
Article in National science review, 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
Emerging topological thermal physics has revolutionized thermal management with topological thermal metamaterials, but most of them only consider passive/static thermal diffusion. Inspired by ecological dynamics, we investigate the topological thermal physics in an active/dynamic three-body heat-transfer system connected with Peltier modules, in which the cyclic interaction is exemplified by the rock-paper-scissors (RPS) chain. Numerical simulations demonstrate a robust temperature localization phenomenon against parametric disturbance and structural perturbations, and topological phase transition in a thermal RPS chain is discussed via a topological band-theory analysis of the corresponding Hamiltonian. Our findings establish a framework for exploring dynamic topological phenomena in non-equilibrium thermal transport, offering new pathways for active thermal management.
