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

This study explores the energy-harvesting performance of aluminum (Al)- and iron (Fe)-filled styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composites, with a focus on their mechanical durability and triboelectric properties. Comprehensive mechanical characterization-including tensile strength, elongation at break, fracture toughness, and elasticity-reveals that Fe-filled composites exhibit significantly enhanced reinforcement compared to Al-filled systems at equivalent filler loadings. Raman spectroscopy indicates that Fe atoms can coordinate with the benzene rings of SBR chains through stronger physicochemical bonding, a feature less present in Al-based composites. In addition to improved mechanical properties, Fe-filled composites demonstrate higher electrical conductivity and superior triboelectric energy-harvesting performance. Notably, the composite containing 15 vol% Fe under 1% cyclic compressive strain achieves a peak current density of 127.05 µA/m
