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

As electronics proliferate through the rise of the internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), the need for sustainable, decentralized power source is growing. Energy harvesting-converting ambient sources such as vibration, heat, or electromagnetic waves into electricity-offers a promising solution for powering distributed, low-power, or wearable electronic systems. However, the practical deployment of most energy harvesters has been significantly limited by the processability issues associated with the inherent brittleness of conventional materials. In contrast, fiber-based energy harvesters offer superior flexibility and stretchability due to their intrinsic deformability and multidirectional bending capabilities, presenting a compelling alternative to conventional energy harvesters. This review systematically summarizes the fabrication processes and performance characteristics of fiber energy harvesters, categorizing them by the origin of the energy source-mechanical, optical, and thermal. In particular, various design considerations based on the working principles of fiber energy harvesters are retrospectively analyzed to provide guidelines for developing next-generation fiber energy harvesters. Additionally, current challenges and future research directions are discussed, highlighting the potential of fiber-based platforms to enable next-generation wearable electronics.
