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 the present study, a novel coupled analytical - finite element model is developed to examine the effect of spatially varying volume fractions of differently sized ZnO grains on the performance of functionally graded thermoelectric devices (FGTEDs). The volume fraction distribution of grains along the device length is defined using the power's law function. The volume fraction variation parameter (n) is varied from 0 to ∞, and the corresponding power output of the device is systematically analysed and compared. The grain sizes ranging from 0.18 µm to 5.75 µm are considered in the temperature range 120 K to 675 K. The results indicate that the FGTEDs with a higher volume fraction of larger grains yields a greater power output. A maximum power output of 2.6341 x 10
