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

Herein, a novel actinomorphic flower-like ZnO/Au/CdS nanorods ternary composite photocatalyst is prepared to extend the light-responsive range, reduce the photogenerated charge carriers recombination, and ultimately improve the water splitting performance. Flower-like ZnO nanorods are synthesized by a chemical bath method and the CdS nanoparticles are sensitized by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method. Then the Au nanoparticles as co-catalysts are introduced by the photodeposition method to modify the interface of ZnO/CdS for reducing the photogenerated electron recombination rate and further improving the performance of water splitting. Detailed characterizations and measurements are employed to analyse the crystallinity, morphology, composition, and optical properties of the flower-like ZnO/Au/CdS nanorods samples. As a result, the flower-like ZnO/Au/CdS nanorod samples present significantly enhanced water splitting performance with a high gas evolution rate of 502.2 μmol/g/h, which is about 22.5 and 1.5 times higher than that of the pure ZnO sample and ZnO/CdS sample. The results demonstrate that the flower-like ZnO/Au/CdS nanorods ternary composite materials have great application potential in photocatalytic water splitting for the hydrogen evolution field.
