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

Water evaporation-induced electricity generators are considered a promising green energy-harvesting technology to alleviate the increasingly serious fossil energy crisis. Previous water evaporation-induced electricity generators mainly focused on single component carbon black, limiting the improvements in energy output. At present, there are relatively few studies on multi-component carbon black for improving electricity-generation performance. Herein, inspired by plant transpiration, we designed a fabric-based water evaporation-induced electricity generator (FWEG) based on multi-component carbon black, which can maintain a voltage of 0.65 V for more than 48 h. Through the synergistic effect of multi-component carbon black-enhanced oxygen-containing functional density, the FWEG can generate an enhanced output current of 61.61 μA without any additional energy input. Moreover, we show that the FWEG can be integrated readily to charge commercial capacitors or directly power LED lights and calculators for a long time. This work provides new insights for designing high-performance hydrovoltaic electricity generators for sustainable green energy harvesting.
