Minimum-Entropy Optimal Control of Electromechanical Linkages for Energy Harvesting.
Article in Entropy (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. 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
This work considers optimal mechanical-electrical power conversion across rigid linkages equipped with current-controlled actuators. A novel cost function derived from a generalization of the Second Law of Thermodynamics is adopted from our previous work, where cycle-averaged energies are interpreted as generalized temperatures. A cost function based on generalized entropy generation is used to formulate an optimal control problem yielding a decoupled velocity feedback controller. Suboptimal gains are found, which are independent of both the excitation characteristics and the mechanical subsystem dynamics, and yield closed-loop stability. The effectiveness and simplicity of the resulting controller is demonstrated by a Monte Carlo simulation study, where random episodes of unknown, periodic forcing are applied under the proposed controller and compared with a maximum-efficiency controller. Results show that the proposed controller offers a higher statistical expectation for the average harvested power.
