Paper-Based Hydroelectric Generators for Water Evaporation-Induced Electricity Generation.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
The research presented in this paper introduces a novel environmental energy-harvesting technology that harnesses electricity from the evaporation of water using porous structural materials. Specifically, a strategy employing paper-based hydroelectric generators (p-HEGs) is proposed to capture the energy produced during water evaporation and convert it into usable electricity. The p-HEGs offer several advantages, including simplicity in fabrication, low cost, and reusability. To evaluate their effectiveness, the water evaporation-induced electrical output performance of four different p-HEGs are compared. Among the variants tested, the p-HEG combining wood pulp and polyester fiber exhibits the best output performance. At room temperature, this particular p-HEG generates a short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage of ≈0.4 µA and 0.3 V, respectively, thereby demonstrating excellent electrical stability. Furthermore, the electrical current and voltage generated by the p-HEG through water evaporation are able to power an LED light, both individually and in series and parallel connections. This study delves into the potential of electricity harvesting from water evaporation and establishes it as a viable method for renewable energy applications.
