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) effectively convert mechanical energy to electric power or signals. In the presented work, films of sulfated cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) in combination with additives, triethanolamine (TEOA), and methylimidazole (MI) were turned into a tribo-positive layer in combination with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (tribo-negative layer) to develop CNC-PET TENG. The additives improved the bendability of the formed films. Under optimized additive concentrations, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) film with 4 wt % TEOA and 4.5 wt % MI shows tensile strength of 68 MPa with 4.8% elongation at break values in comparison to 47 MPa strength and 1% elongation at break values for neat CNC films. The CNC-PET film-based vertical contact-separation TENG device shows output voltages of 80 and 123 V at frequencies of 4 and 8 Hz, respectively. The TENG based on modified CNC films was stable for 4000 contact-separation cycles. Unlike TENG based on CNF and other nanocellulose composites, in this work, CNC films consist of more than 90 wt % cellulose and show good electromechanical performance, which makes them promising candidates as substrates for flexible electronics with recyclability over earlier published reports on cellulose composite with synthetic additives described in the introduction section.
