Photocatalytic Activity of Graphene Oxide/Zinc Oxide Nanocomposites with Embedded Metal Nanoparticles for the Degradation of Organic Dyes.
Article in ACS omega, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers.
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.
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
Nanocomposite materials based on metal nanoparticles and graphene oxide (GO) have gained increasing attention for their wide range of potential applications in various materials science fields. In this study, an efficient photocatalyst based on GO/ZnO nanocomposites with embedded metal nanoparticles was successfully synthesized via a simple one-pot method. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized nanocomposites was tested in the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dyes, as a model of water pollutants. A catalytic activity of 84% was achieved using a nanocomposite with a percentage of 3.125% GO, after 90 min sunlight irradiation. Furthermore, embedded copper and silver nanoparticles were used as dopants to study their effects on the activity of the photocatalyst. The GO-ZnO-Cu nanocomposite showed that the activity toward MB degradation was decreased by 50%, while a significant increase in the activity of MB degradation was achieved by the GO-ZnO-Ag nanocomposite. The removal efficiency of MB by the GO-ZnO-Ag nanocomposite reached 100% after 40 min of sunlight irradiation. Thus, the GO-ZnO-Ag nanocomposite has the potential to be an efficient adaptable photocatalyst for the photodegradation of organic dyes in industrial wastewater.
