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

Z-scheme Ag₂S/BiFeO₃ heterojunction composites were successfully prepared through a precipitation method. The morphology and microstructure characterization demonstrate that Ag₂S nanoparticles (30⁻50 nm) are well-decorated on the surfaces of polyhedral BiFeO₃ particles (500⁻800 nm) to form Ag₂S/BiFeO₃ heterojunctions. The photocatalytic and photo-Fenton catalytic activities of the as-derived Ag₂S/BiFeO₃ heterojunction composites were evaluated by the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under visible-light irradiation. The photocatalytic result indicates that the Ag₂S/BiFeO₃ composites exhibit much improved photocatalytic activities when compared with bare Ag₂S and BiFeO₃. The optimum composite sample was observed to be 15% Ag₂S/BiFeO₃ with an Ag₂S mass fraction of 15%. Furthermore, the addition of H₂O₂ can further enhance the dye degradation efficiency, which is due to the synergistic effects of photo- and Fenton catalysis. The results of photoelectrochemical and photoluminescence measurements suggest a greater separation of the photoexcited electron/hole pairs in the Ag₂S/BiFeO₃ composites. According to the active species trapping experiments, the photocatalytic and photo-Fenton catalytic mechanisms of the Ag₂S/BiFeO₃ composites were proposed and discussed.
