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

Droplet-based electricity generators (DEGs) are usually characterised under dry conditions, although retained water can alter their electrical boundary. We compared blank, bottom-wetted, top-wetted, wetted-and-dried, and partially immersed states using 40 mm × 40 mm FEP/ITO devices. Four separately assembled devices per condition were tested on a separate apparatus, with 100 droplet events per device. The device averages were analysed by Welch's ANOVA and Holm-adjusted contrasts. Bottom wetting changed the average peak voltage by -0.30% relative to the blank (adjusted
