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 this work, energy was harvested from ankle flexion during gait. For this, two piezoelectric thin films were tested: PVDF and CdS. The PVDF film was a commercial option, and the CdS film was fabricated in our laboratory. Deposition of the CdS film is also reported in this work. Energy harvested during gait from heel strike and ankle flexion was compared. Tests were performed with 10 healthy volunteers walking on a treadmill at 1.2-1.5 km/h. The volunteers wore a sock with piezoelectric films incorporated in the heel and ankle joint (talocrural joint). Tests were performed first with the PVDF film and then with the CdS film. The CdS thin film obtained a
