I do not like this graph on page 2:

There are no calibration points above 0.5 W input, and no live run data
points below that. You have to have calibration points at the same power
levels as the live run. There has to be overlap. If your highest input
power during the live run is 4.6 W (as shown here) you have input 4.6 W
during the calibration, or better yet 5 W.
In an update posted by Daniele Passerini on his 22passi blog, Ubaldo
Mastromatteo, main author of this Celani effect replication at STM labs,
forwarded a graph showing a [one of many?] calibration run:

In short, by using different testing conditions which make the active
wire "inert", they obtained a linear relationship of output power with
temperature. Wire performance under conditions which make it "active" is
then compared to this linear trend curve fit.
A relatively detailed description of how to read this and the previous
graph (for those who didn't get it at first) and other clarifications on
the status of this research at STMicroelectronics was also provided.
It's in Italian, however. Those interested please use Google Translate
at your own risk:
