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

Creation of the "auroral" green line, a fascinating occurrence commonly observed in the upper atmosphere, has long been a difficult endeavor, especially at atmospheric pressure. Here we report strong emission of the "auroral" green line for the first time in a kHz frequency, linear field atmospheric pressure plasma jet system. The device used 99.999% pure argon as a working gas for the plasma generation. Optical emission spectroscopy measurements of the after discharge region show the existence of 557.7 nm emission which corresponds to the transition O([Formula: see text]S)-O([Formula: see text]D). The intensity of the produced green line is strong enough that the entire plasma plume in the ambient air is visible as a green plasma. We provide the chemical reactions of O([Formula: see text]S) production in the plasma and the estimation of the density of the O([Formula: see text]S) metastable state using the kinetic reactions. Further, the O([Formula: see text]S) emission is characterized by changing the flow rate of argon, applied voltage and electrode gap. The adequate plasma length ([Formula: see text]) along with the production of a variety of reactive components viz; OH, [Formula: see text] and oxygen (777 nm) make this configuration useful for applications such as: blood coagulation, cancer treatment, sterilization, and waste treatment. Moreover, this setup can be potentially used as a test bed for the in-depth understanding of plasma chemistry relevant to the aurora and comet tails using a laboratory setting.
