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

Porous ZnO sheets containing various degrees of a nanoscaled pore were successfully synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method and various postannealing procedures. The porosity features of the ZnO sheets can be easily tuned by changing both the annealing temperature and annealing atmosphere. The dense porous nature of ZnO sheets is beneficial to enhance light absorption. Moreover, the substantially increased oxygen vacancies in the ZnO sheets were observed especially after the hydrogen treatment as revealed in the X-ray photoelectron spectroscope and photoluminescence analyses. The high density of surface crystal defect enhanced the photoinduced electron-hole separation rate of the ZnO sheets, which is crucial for an improved photoactivity. The porous ZnO sheets formed at a hydrogen atmosphere exhibited superior photoactive performance than the porous ZnO sheets formed at the high-temperature ambient air annealing. The dense pores and massive crystal defects formed by a hydrogen atmosphere annealing in the ZnO crystals might account for the observed photoactive behaviors in this study.
