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

The triboelectric property of materials is used to harvest energy from intentional or nonintentional sources of vibration. Contact mode freestanding dielectric based nanogenerators (CFTENGs) have many advantages when compared with other modes of triboelectric nanogenerators. The property of dielectric materials plays an important role in the energy harvesting process. In this work, we aim to fabricate nanofiber membranes of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and study their properties for CFTENGs. The morphology and porosity of both membranes were tested experimentally. The mechanical property is modeled with a representative volume element (RVE) technique to understand its deflection behavior. In addition, an electromechanical model is developed to predict and analyze the behavior of those membranes in the energy conversion process. Our research reveals that the PAN dielectric layer achieves a maximum open circuit voltage of 192 kV compared to the PVA dielectric layer (2.2 kV) in the CFTENG system. In comparison, the dielectric layer of the PAN nanofiber membrane reflects its flexibility to generate electrical energy in a CFTENG with the effect of contact electrification and electrostatic induction under various sources of unused energies for a wide range of applications. Moreover, the same methodology is applied to various sources of vibration, and their performance is reported. With an appropriate power management circuit, we can design a PAN membrane-based TENG for various applications.
