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

The challenge of low electric outputs of triboelectric nanogenerators limits their large-scale practical applications. Although considerable efforts have been focused on improving the output, e.g., enhancing the surface charge densities of tribo-materials, the improvements are either too weak or too complicated. Here, we show that optimizing the running-in process with dimethyl sulfoxide solvent can increase the charge density of polyimide-based triboelectric nanogenerators to 2.5 mC m
