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

Energy harvesting from flowing water is important for supplying hydrometric monitoring systems. Nevertheless, it is challenging due to the chaotic water flow in only one main direction and the relatively weak energy profile. In this paper, a novel energy harvester has been proposed, designed, and validated. The converter consists of a pendulum, a gearbox, two overrunning clutches, a spiral spring, and a generator. By coupling the kinetic energy via an oscillating mass equipped with a magnetic spring, it is possible to accommodate the power supply, electronics, and sensors with data transmission in a completely closed, encapsulated, stable housing without an interface to the outside. In addition, an energy management circuit and a battery charging circuit were developed that could be housed in the sealed enclosure. The pendulum transducer prototype was tested with the developed online hydrometric measurement station, which consists of a multi-channel data logger with a cellular modem and a tipping bucket rain gauge sensor. The overall system was successfully validated by experimental studies in a river.
