Implanted Battery-Free Direct-Current Micro-Power Supply from in Vivo Breath Energy Harvesting.
Article in ACS applied materials & interfaces, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
In vivo biomechanical energy harvesting by implanted nanogenerators (i-NGs) is promising for self-powered implantable medical devices (IMDs). One critical challenge to reach practical applications is the requirement of continuous direct-current (dc) output, while the low-frequency body activities typically generate discrete electrical pulses. Here, we developed an ultrastretchable micrograting i-NG system that could function as a battery-free dc micro-power supply. Packaged by a soft silicone elastomer with a cavity design, the i-NG exhibited an ultralow Young's modulus of ∼45 kPa and a high biocompatibility to soft biological tissues. The i-NG was implanted inside the abdominal cavity of Sprague Dawley adult rats and directly converted the slow diaphragm movement during normal respiration into a high-frequency alternative current electrical output, which was readily transmitted into a continuous ∼2.2 V dc output after being integrated with a basic electrical circuit. A light-emitting diode was constantly operated by the breath-driven i-NG without the aid of any battery component. This solely biomechanical energy-driven dc micro-power supply offers a promising solution for the development of self-powered IMDs.
