Leveraging body dielectric polarization for ambient electromagnetic energy recovery via e-textile.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Ambient electromagnetic energy surrounds us in daily life and holds great potential for powering the future distributed wearable electronics. However, current electromagnetic energy harvesting methods suffer from reflection losses and parasitic effects, typically generating only nanowatt-level power, which is insufficient for flexible electronic systems. Here, we propose a body dielectric polarization-enabled textile for electromagnetic energy recovery. By harnessing the space charge/ dipole polarization in the body, the textile can directly convert electromagnetic energy from skin surface without additional power generation entities. Due to the body dielectric polarization mechanism, the textile can recover up to 10.2 mW/person (10.01 dBm) from a common laptop during daily typing, surpassing most state-of-the-art electromagnetic energy harvesters. We further demonstrate the textile by continuously powering a wireless heart rate belt for overnight heart rate and ECG monitoring without a battery. This body dielectric polarization energy recovery strategy provides inspiration for future distributed flexible energy.
