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

Smart orthopedic implants require sensing systems that can monitor joint loading without increasing dependence on batteries or complex implanted electronics. Here, we report an implant-integrated hybrid triboelectric-piezoelectric nanogenerator (TPNG) built from six multilayer Cu/PVDF transducers distributed across the medial and lateral compartments of a tibial-tray-inspired total knee replacement (TKR) package. Coupling triboelectric contact-separation to the piezoelectric response of the stack increases the peak-to-peak voltage, while the transducers retain 92.4% of their peak-to-peak output after approximately 350,000 gait cycles. The present study evaluates the sensors under predominantly centered axial loading, which consists of 90% of loading going through the knee joint. Using a single full-wave rectifier across all six transducers charges a 0.22
