Tuning of Thermopower in Molecular Junctions by Molecularly Controlled Sculpting of the Density of States in Their Leads.
Article in Nano letters, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Molecular junctions are promising for (low power) thermoelectric applications, providing their transmission landscape can be made sufficiently nonlinear at the Fermi level to efficiently break their electron/hole transport symmetry in response to a temperature gradient. We present a method to induce such nonlinearity leading to thermopower values of |S| > 0.5 mV/K. The method is applicable to metal-molecules-semimetal junctions in which a space charge region is formed within the semimetal with a characteristic length perpendicular to the interface that can be tuned to become comparable to the Fermi wavelength of the semimetal. Under such conditions, the interfacial density of states within this lead is quantized at energies that can be tuned to reside within ∼kBT from the Fermi level by varying the molecular length. The resulting conductance behavior within this energy range becomes sufficiently steep to substantially break electron/hole transport symmetry, with ensuing high thermopower values.
