Influence of Mechanical Couplings on the Dynamical Behavior and Energy Harvesting of a Composite Structure.
Article in Polymers, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 this paper, the dynamical behavior of composite material is analyzed, including the energy harvesting effect. The composite is modeled by the Finite Element Method (FEM) and is made of pre-impregnate with a matrix of thermosetting epoxy resin reinforced with high-strength R-type glass fibers, and it is designed as a beam structure that is exposed to mechanical vibrations. The structure assumed the form of a beam with a substantially rectangular cross section. The couplings of motion occurring between mode shapes at properly selected fiber orientations are investigated. The beams with determined sets of composite layers and a coupling effect are used to recover electricity from the mechanical vibrations in the vicinity of the first resonance zone. The composite with a certain number of fiber glass layers has assumed an orientation relative to the beam axis. The new values found in this paper are the intensity of the coupling between the bending in the stiff and flexible directions of the beam for a chosen fiber layer stacking sequence. Additionally, the influence of layer configuration on the energy harvesting efficiency of the Macro-Fiber Composite (MFC) piezoelectric element is assessed.
