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

Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most widely used materials for fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing. It is a biodegradable thermoplastic polyester, derived from natural resources such as corn starch or sugarcane, with low environmental impact and good mechanical properties. One important feature of PLA is that its properties can be modulated by the inclusion of nanofillers. In this work, we investigate the influence of SiC and ZnO doping of PLA on the triboelectric performance of PLA-based tribogenerators. Our results show that the triboelectric signal in ZnO-doped PLA composites increases as the concentration of ZnO in PLA increases, with an enhancement in the output power of 741% when the ZnO concentration in PLA is 3 wt%. SiC-doped PLA behaves in a different manner. Initially the triboelectric signal increases, reaching a peak value with enhanced output power by 284% compared to undoped PLA, when the concentration of SiC in PLA is 1.5 wt%. As the concentration increases to 3 wt%, the triboelectric signal reduces significantly and is comparable to or less than that of the undoped PLA. Our results are consistent with recent data for PVDF doped with silicon carbide nanoparticles and are attributed to the reduction in the contact area between the triboelectric surfaces.
