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

Based on thermoelectric generators (TEGs), an aerodynamic heat energy recovery system for vehicle is proposed. A mathematical model describing the energy conversion law of the system is established, and the integrated calculation method which combined aerodynamic heating and thermoelectric (TE) conversion is given. Furthermore, the influences of the typical flight Mach number, flight altitudes and the length of TE legs on the energy conversion behavior of energy recovery systems are investigated. The performance of the energy recovery system is analyzed and evaluated. The results show that, the decrease of flight altitude and the increase of Mach number will obviously improve the performance of the heat energy recovery system with TEGs. The increase of leg length will increase the temperature of the hot end of TEGs and reduce the heat absorbed at the hot end. When the external load, Mach number and flight altitude is fixed, there exists an optimal length of legs corresponding to the maximum output power and maximum conversion efficiency of the system. The results will have significant positive impact on thermal protection and management of supersonic/hypersonic vehicles.
