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 integration of porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with thermoelectric materials offers an effective route toward the phonon-glass electron crystal paradigm. However, their application in high-temperature power generation remains severely limited by the intrinsic thermal instability of MOFs arising from weak coordination bonding. Here, we report a thermally robust heterostructure that is stable from 300 to 873 K, achieved by embedding sub-nanoporous Zn-[2-methylimidazolate] frameworks (ZIF-8) into Sn-rich SnTe nanomaterials synthesized by a base-amine-mediated solvothermal method. We reveal that the remarkably low solubility of Zn in SnTe inhibits Zn diffusion, thereby stabilizing the Zn nodes and preserving the Zn-N coordination network at elevated temperatures. The SnTe/ZIF-8 nanocomposite introduces an interface-induced energy filtering effect for electrical optimization. Simultaneously, the porosity-induced thermal radiation, the hierarchical defects, and the interfacial Kapitza resistance enable strong phonon scattering across a broad frequency spectrum. As a result, a maximum
