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

Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is considered as a potential solution to harvest distributed energy for the sustainable and reliable power supply of the internet of things. Although numerous researches on alternating current (AC) output TENG from fundamental physics to potential applications have been widely promoted in recent years, the studies about direct current (DC) output TENG is just beginning, especially for a constant current output. This work gives the summary of recent key researches from AC-TENG to DC-TENG, especially a constant current TENG, as well as the design of AC/DC-TENG. In addition, some new DC generators will also be summarized toward a wide range of readers. This study presents the similarities and differences between AC-TENG and DC-TENG, so that their impact and uniqueness can be clearly understood. Finally, the major challenges and the future outlooks in this rapidly emerging research field will be discussed as a guideline for future research.
