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

Wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies are advancing rapidly, yet their development trajectories within specific regional contexts remain underexplored. This review synthesizes India's contributions to both near-field and far-field WPT research. We conducted a systematic literature survey spanning 2018-2024 to identify dominant technological themes, benchmark performance against global standards, and analyze innovation patterns within India's research ecosystem. The review reveals a consistent focus on robust, cost-effective, and context-appropriate designs across both domains. In near-field WPT, Indian research emphasizes misalignment-tolerant magnetic coupling and high-frequency power converters for applications including electric vehicle charging and biomedical implants. In far-field WPT, progress is evident in rectenna architectures that enhance angular coverage and efficiency, particularly for IoT networks. We consolidate quantitative performance metrics from the literature to establish reference benchmarks and delineate persistent research gaps. We propose a forward-looking research agenda aimed at aligning WPT innovation with India's sustainable development goals and energy accessibility challenges. This analysis provides a foundation for understanding how regional ecosystems shape technological priorities and offers insights for global WPT development.
