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

Flexible and wearable electronics often rely on piezoelectric materials, and Poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) membranes are popular for this application. However, their electromechanical performance is limited due to a relatively low piezoelectric coefficient. To address this, this study investigates the incorporation of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods (NRs) into a P(VDF-TrFE) nanofiber membrane matrix. ZnO NRs were synthesized and doped into well-aligned P(VDF-TrFE) nanofibers using electrospinning with a high-speed rotating drum. The impact of ZnO NRs' mass fraction on the piezoelectric properties of the membranes was evaluated. Results show that a maximum piezoelectric coefficient (d33) of -62.4 pC/N, 9.5 times higher than neat P(VDF-TrFE), was achieved. These enhanced membranes demonstrated excellent performance in finger-tapping and bending detection, making them promising for large-scale flexible sensor applications in wearable electronics. This approach offers a simple and effective route to improve the performance of piezoelectric materials in flexible devices.
