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 paper focuses on hybrid piezo-electromagnetic generators, which are assembled from a magnetic repulsion pad made of two disk magnets, a sliding cylindrical magnet placed inside a tube, a coil, and an assembly of piezoelectric elements connected with the magnetic pad, as well as an electronic system for rectification and voltage adjustment. Four piezo-electromagnetic generators have been developed. Two linear generators without magnetic cores were tested and optimized for low-frequency (0.2 Hz…5 Hz) and low-amplitude body movements. The other two generators were also designed to handle high-vibration amplitudes, to generate up to 2.2-2.5 W of power. An algorithm for the calculation and modeling of these hybrid generators is presented, as well as simulation models. In addition, an electronic hybrid voltage converter was realized. It was observed that the system harvesting efficiency was increased by adding a large capacitive buffer made of electrolytic capacitors after the Schottky diode rectifiers bridges. This capacitive buffer, together with the electronic pre-regulator, has the role of limiting the voltage to the desired input value and of being the first charging stage. Finally, in the second charging stage, an electronic converter is used to charge the supercapacitors.
