Eco-friendly shape-stabilized phase change materials: Improving thermal performance, reducing pollution, and enabling sustainable energy solutions.
Review in iScience, 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
Phase change materials store and release large amounts of latent heat, yet leakage on melting and low thermal conductivity limit their use in thermal energy storage. Confining them in porous supports prevents leakage, but many conventional supports carry high cost and environmental burden. This review synthesizes how biomass-derived porous supports offer a sustainable alternative. It compares three carbonization routes, direct pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonization, and activation-enabled carbonization, across pore development, PCM loading, leakage resistance, cost, and environmental impact, and examines hybridization with graphene, expanded graphite, metals, and ceramics to raise thermal conductivity. The evidence shows that filler topology and interfacial design govern performance more than filler identity. These insights map a practical, lower-impact route toward scalable bio-based thermal storage for buildings, textiles, desalination, and solar applications.
