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

Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) is a predominantly utilized negative triboelectric material in triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Its surface topography and synergistic interaction with positive triboelectric materials significantly impact the performance of TENGs. Here, we propose a simple and cost-effective approach to promote the performance of a dual-surface-modified TENG using microwave-structured aluminum (MW-Al) together with microcone-structured polydimethylsiloxane (MC-PDMS). Laser-engraved molds were employed to cold-imprint the MC-Al and pattern the MC-PDMS. Subsequently, the impact of the heights of microcones generated under varying laser powers on the performance of TENGs was explored. The output performance of the MW-MC-TENG significantly increased with microcone heights from 0 to 228 μm. The MW-MC228-TENG, with the highest cone heights, can produce the best open-circuit voltage of 157 V and a short-circuit current of 78.5 µA, resulting in a more than 37% improvement compared to the TENG using flat polymer. Furthermore, the MW-MC228-TENG showed a power density of 16.4 W/m
