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

This study explores the potential effects of the aerodynamic parameters on the performance of the galloping piezoelectric energy harvester. By considering the geometric configurations, a bluff body cross-sectional shape evolution approach is proposed using Boolean operations on the polygons and forty-eight different cross-sectional shapes with the protruding and depressed features are considered. Computational fluid dynamics is employed to perform a time-varying simulation of the aerodynamic characteristics. The effects of the aerodynamic parameters on performance are investigated computationally using a distributed parameter electromechanical coupling model. The critical wind speed, maximum output power, and the slope of the power versus wind speed curve are introduced as the performance evaluation parameters. The results show that the rear-side protruding feature and the top-side and bottom-side depressed feature have significant potential to enhance the performance. Furthermore, a symmetrical structure of the cross-sectional shape in the downstream direction should be prioritized over asymmetric designs.
