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
A position identification system for wandering elderly people uses BLE to transmit ID information. The objective of this study is to make the BLE module batteryless using a piezoelectric element. The piezoelectric element is mounted on the sole of a shoe, and when pressure is applied to the piezoelectric element by walking, a voltage is generated between both electrodes of the piezoelectric element. This voltage is used to store the necessary power as a battery to operate the BLE module. In this paper, we provide a step-by-step design approach using piezoelectric elements attached to a shoe to power an actual BLE module. We derive an equivalent circuit for the piezoelectric element under walking conditions and, through circuit simulation and actual measurements, clarify the amount of time required to charge the voltage to drive the BLE, demonstrating the possibility of a batteryless BLE module for use in locating a wanderer while they are walking.
