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

When testing the output of piezoelectric devices under different pressures, the friction between the pressure platform and the device causes a large amount of frictional electrical signals to be mixed in the output piezoelectric signal, seriously affecting the measurement accuracy of the piezoelectric signal. The current solution is to encapsulate the contact interface with identical materials to suppress triboelectric interference. However, this work has shown that even when contact separation is implemented at the interface of same media, triboelectric signals can still be generated. The heterogeneous potential distribution of the same material in contact separation has been discovered for the first time through the contact interface potential distribution, proving that charge transfer still exists between the same materials. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to analyze the microstructure of the interface, and it was found that the existence of the surface tip structure would enhance the electron loss. Based on this, a new electron transfer model for surface-tip electron cloud interaction is proposed in this work. In addition, by comparing the output voltage characteristics of the triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) of seven polymer materials (e.g., polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyoxymethylene (POM), polyimide (PI), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET)), it was found that the open circuit voltage of PP material was only 0.06 V when they friction with each other, which is 2-3 orders of magnitude lower than other materials. When PP materials are applied to the package of piezoelectric devices, the precision of piezoelectric output characterization can be improved significantly, and a new experimental basis for a triboelectric theory system can be provided.
