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

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) offer a low-cost approach for harvesting ambient mechanical energy; however, most devices rely on synthetic, nonbiodegradable polymers. This study presents an eco-friendly biodegradable TENG constructed using a ternary composite of poly-(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), chitosan (CS), and glycine (GL). Moderately transparent PVA/CS/GL composite films were fabricated via a simple in situ solvent-casting process using physical mixing and ambient drying, avoiding toxic solvents and complex thermal processing. The composite film served as the tribo-positive layer, while a polydimethylsiloxane film served as the tribo-negative layer in a vertical contact-separation configuration. The GL content (0-25 wt %) was varied to evaluate its effect on the film structure, mechanical properties, and triboelectric performance. SEM showed GL-dependent surface texturing, and FTIR confirmed the presence of polar functional groups (-OH, -NH
