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

Integrated power generation systems have gained increasing attention in marine renewable energy development due to their potential synergistic benefits. However, quantitative assessments of the added gains in structural stability and power output are limited. This study proposes a novel wind-solar-wave (WSW) co-generation system that integrates wind, solar, and wave energy technologies to enhance both power performance per unit area and structural stability. A new numerical model is developed based on potential flow theory and multi-body hydrodynamic interactions, and validated using existing data. Eight WSW configurations are examined, considering varying mooring depths and clump weights. Results shows that the integration of wave energy converters (WECs) within and along the perimeter of WSW can improve the structural stability by reducing the vertical fluctuations of the floating solar farm by 41.2%-69.7% while contributing 11.3%-22.6% to the total power generated. Moreover, mooring the additional WECs and floating solar farms (FSFs) to the foundation of offshore wind turbines can also effectively control the overall structural motion of WECs and FSFs. Overall, the present study confirms the promising prospects of the WSW for future design and policy development of offshore energy integration, and also offer a new numerical model that can provide assessment and evaluation of the integrative benefits towards mooring structural stability and power performance for the whole system within the same spatial footprint.
