Developing an Affordable Miniature 3D-Printed Wave Generator for Wave Energy Harvesting Application.

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
The development of low-frequency and low-amplitude wave energy harvesters has been limited by the lack of an affordable scientific evaluation platform, due to the high cost and land requirements of ground-based water channels. A 3D-printed modular wave generator, combined with the commercially available laboratory-sized wave channel, is proposed to address this. A stepper motor and an Arduino are employed as the driving source and controller. This system utilises motor parameters, such as rotational speed and number of travelled steps, to accurately control generated wave frequency and amplitude. By minimising costs and enhancing sustainability through 3D printing technology, only minor modifications are needed to adapt it to different water tank dimensions. The system can generate stable waves with frequencies from 1 Hz to 2 Hz and amplitudes from 1.5 cm to 7.1 cm under the current setting. The generated wave frequency and amplitude can be further customised by selecting faster stepper motors, as demonstrated in this study.
