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

Dynamic semiconductor diode generators (DDGs) offer a potential portable and miniaturized energy source, with the advantages of high current density, low internal impedance, and independence of the rectification circuit. However, the output voltage of DDGs is generally as low as 0.1-1 V, owing to energy loss during carrier transport and inefficient carrier collection, which requires further optimization and a deeper understanding of semiconductor physical properties. Therefore, this study proposes a vertical graphene/silicon DDG to regulate the performance by realizing hot carrier transport and collection. With instant contact and separation of the graphene and silicon, hot carriers are generated by the rebounding process of built-in electric fields in dynamic graphene/silicon diodes, which can be collected within the ultralong hot electron lifetime of graphene. In particular, monolayer graphene/silicon DDG outputs a high voltage of 6.1 V as result of ultrafast carrier transport between the monolayer graphene and silicon. Furthermore, a high current of 235.6 nA is generated due to the carrier multiplication in graphene. A voltage of 17.5 V is achieved under series connection, indicating the potential to supply electronic systems through integration design. The graphene/silicon DDG has applications as an in situ energy source for harvesting mechanical energy from the environment.
