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

Energy storage materials play a crucial role in enhancing system efficiency by bridging the mismatch between energy supply and demand. Among them, organic phase change materials (PCMs) are particularly attractive due to their high energy storage density, no phase segregation and ability to maintain nearly constant temperatures during phase transitions. However, their practical application is hindered by drawbacks such as leakage and flammability. Aerogels, characterized by high porosity, low density, and tunable structures, provide effective support matrices for encapsulating PCMs, thereby improving shape stability and enabling fire safety improvements when combined with flame-retardant strategies. Despite significant progress in PCM and aerogel research over the past decade, comprehensive studies dedicated to flame-retardant aerogel-based PCMs remain limited. This review systematically summarizes current flame-retardant approaches for aerogel-based PCMs, highlights recent advances in aerogel-supported systems, and outlines the key challenges and future opportunities for developing next-generation energy storage composites with improved thermal reliability, safety, and sustainability.
