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

Self-powered sensing related to triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) as a sustainable self-sufficient power source for environmental monitoring by harvesting energy from a living environment is critical in the field of energy and environmental science. However, features of small energy-density and irregularity of environmental energy make it difficult to use directly for real-time environmental monitoring. Here, we report a self-powered and self-calibrated environmental monitoring system (SSEMS) composed of TENG, a calibration resistor, and a sensor network in parallel for real-time temperature and humidity monitoring. The calibration resistor can monitor in real time the irregular output of TENG from the irregularity of rainfalls. SSEMS uses this calibrating signal to calibrate the sensing signal in real time, achieving accurate sensing with an error margin less than 5.0%. We applied SSEMS under waterfalls and rainfalls to monitor in real time the environmental temperature and relative humidity with a sensing error as low as 1.0%. This work promotes self-powering technology one step further to practical applications.
