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

In recent years, implantable medical devices (IMDs) have introduced groundbreaking solutions for managing various health conditions. However, traditional implanted batteries necessitate periodic surgical replacement and tend to be relatively bulky, posing significant inconvenience to patients. To overcome these limitations, researchers have investigated various wireless power transfer (WPT) techniques, among which the ultrasonic wireless power transmission (UWPT) technique has distinct advantages. However, limited research has been conducted on ultrasonic power transfer at lower operating frequencies. Therefore, this study explores wireless power transfer using scandium-doped aluminum nitride (AlScN) piezoelectric micro-electromechanical transducers (PMUTs) in deionized (DI) water. Experimental results indicate that at an operating frequency of 14.075 kHz, the power transfer efficiency (PTE) can reach up to 2.68% under optimal load resistance conditions. Furthermore, a low-frequency UWPT system based on a AlScN PMUT has been developed, delivering a stable 3.3 V output for implantable medical devices and contributing to the advancement of a full-spectrum UWPT framework.
