Article in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 study, we present a flexible piezoelectric nanogenerator based on a zinc oxide (ZnO)/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanocomposite electrospun onto a hemisphere-patterned PDMS substrate. The nanogenerator was fabricated by replicating a silicon mold with inverted hemispheres into PDMS, followed by direct electrospinning of ZnO-dispersed PVDF nanofibers. Varying the ZnO concentration from 0.6 to 1.4 wt% allowed us to evaluate its effect on structural, dielectric, and piezoelectric properties. The nanogenerator containing 0.8 wt% ZnO exhibited the thinnest fibers (371 nm), the highest β-phase fraction (85.6%), and the highest dielectric constant (35.8). As a result, it achieved the maximum output voltage of 7.30 V, with excellent signal consistency under an applied pressure of 5 N. Comparisons with pristine PVDF- and ZnO/PVDF-only devices demonstrated the synergistic effect of ZnO loading and patterned PDMS on the enhancement of piezoelectric output. The hemisphere-patterned PDMS substrate improved the mechanical strain distribution, interfacial contact, and charge collection efficiency. These results highlight the potential of ZnO/PVDF/PDMS hybrid nanogenerators for use in wearable electronics and self-powered sensor systems.
