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
Using the piezoelectric (PZT) effect, energy-harvesting has become possible for phononic crystal (PnC). Low-frequency vibration energy harvesting is more of a challenge, which can be solved by local resonance phononic crystals (LRPnCs). A novel three-dimensional (3D) energy harvesting LRPnC is proposed and further analyzed using the finite element method (FEM) software COMSOL. The 3D LRPnC with spiral unit-cell structures is constructed with a low initial frequency and wide band gaps (BGs). According to the large vibration deformation of the elastic beam near the scatterer, a PZT sheet is mounted in the surface of that beam, to harvest the energy of elastic waves using the PZT effect. To further improve the energy-harvesting performance, a 5 × 5 super-cell is numerically constructed. Numerical simulations show that the present 3D super-cell PnC structure can make full use of the advantages of the large vibration deformation and the PZT effect, i.e., the BGs with a frequency range from 28.47 Hz to 194.21 Hz with a bandwidth of 142.7 Hz, and the maximum voltage output is about 29.3 V under effective sound pressure with a peak power of 11.5 µW. The present super-cell phononic crystal structure provides better support for low-frequency vibration energy harvesting, when designing PnCs, than that of the traditional Prague type.
