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

Direct-current triboelectric nanogenerators (DC-TENGs) are promising for mechanical energy harvesting but are often hindered by incomplete charge collection and parasitic discharge pathways. Herein, inspired by the operating characteristics of depletion-mode field-effect transistors, we propose a quasi-gate-electrode enhanced DC-TENG (QGED-TENG). The QGED-TENG employs a back-side quasi-gate-electrode (QGE) and porous polytetrafluoroethylene film to modulate electrostatic breakdown and charge leakage, thereby effectively suppressing parasitic discharge. The QGED-TENG enables direction-contingent enhancement and depletion modes without external bias, notably delivering a 1.41-fold output charge increase in enhancement mode compared to the device without the QGE. Furthermore, by leveraging redistributed electric fields and parallel discharge pathways, the multi-unit architecture achieves a linear charge increase relative to the number of units. Benefiting from the synergistic effects of electrostatic breakdown, charge leakage, and electric field redistribution within the multi-unit configuration, an optimized rotational QGED-TENG achieved an ultrahigh average power density of 25 W m
