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

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(4-styrene-sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) composites were tested to determine their suitability for charging small-scale batteries in conjunction with a piezoelectric actuator as an energy harvester. Two different PEDOT:PSS patterns (zigzag and serpentine) were tested, and the maximum DC voltage of a system incorporating PEDOT:PSS was determined. The aim of this work is to study the effect of soft corners in the electrical routing of aircraft and IoT sensors. The zigzag and serpentine patterns were considered for this study because of their simplicity in design. Without the polymer, 2.3 V was produced by the actuator, while adding PEDOT:PSS resulted in the voltage being reduced to 1.7 V. The piezoelectric actuator was connected to a 3.6 V rechargeable Li-ion battery, and the battery's voltage was recorded over 1 h. The voltage from the piezoelectric actuator was 3.8 V. Without PEDOT:PSS, the battery was charged to a maximum of 3 V. Adding the PEDOT:PSS to the circuit reduced the maximum charge to a voltage of 2 V. The results indicate that while PEDOT:PSS composites can be used in conjunction with piezoelectric energy harvesters, more work is still needed to optimize the system to increase efficiency and charging rates.
