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

Luminescent solar concentrators are translucent photovoltaic modules potentially used for building window. To store the energy generated by them, a separate energy storage module and voltage regulator module are required, but it is clear that this pairing is unwieldy for application. To address this problem, we propose a "face-to-face" tandem integration of luminescent solar concentrators and electrochromic supercapacitors. In this case, the separated energy storage module and voltage regulator module are not required, since the electric energy produced by concentrators under sunlight can be directly stored by the supercapacitors with matched voltage window. The charged energy storage module can be used to supply low-power devices. Moreover, electrochromic supercapacitors exhibit adjustable average visible transmission under different energy storage state, making the integrated device interesting for self-powered electrochromic smart windows or display devices. As an example, a self-powered information instruction display is prepared, and text messages could be clearly and rapidly displayed in a controllable manner. The integrated device capable of photovoltaic conversion, energy storage, and electrochromism is a promising alternative for smart windows.
