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

Piezoelectric nanomaterial-polymer composites represent a unique paradigm for making flexible energy harvesting and sensing devices with enhanced devices' performance. In this work, we studied various metal doped ZnO nanostructures, fabricated and characterized ZnO nanoparticle-PVDF composite thin film, and demonstrated both enhanced energy generation and motion sensing capabilities. Specifically, a series of flexible piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) were designed based on these piezoelectric composite thin films. The voltage output from cobalt (Co), sodium (Na), silver (Ag), and lithium (Li) doped ZnO-PVDF composite as well as pure ZnO-PVDF samples were individually studied and compared. Under the same experimental conditions, the Li-ZnO based device produces the largest peak-to-peak voltage (3.43 Vpp) which is about 9 times of that of the pure ZnO based device, where Co-ZnO, Na-ZnO and Ag-ZnO are 1.2, 4.9 and 5.4 times, respectively. In addition, the effect of doping ratio of Li-ZnO is studied, and we found that 5% is the best doping ratio in terms of output voltage. Finally, we demonstrated that the energy harvested by the device from finger tapping at ~2 Hz can charge a capacitor with a large output power density of 0.45 W/cm
