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) can efficiently convert weak mechanical energy into electricity, making them suitable for small-scale and distributed power supply demanded by the Internet of Things. However, the inevitable friction and wear not only cause high energy dissipation and low triboelectrification efficiency but also severely limit the device's lifetime and reliability. Here, a wear-free structural superlubricity TENG (SSL-TENG) is designed using the graphite-SiO
