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

This study reports the ZnS quantum dots (QDs) synthesis by a hot-injection method for acetone gas sensing applications. The prepared ZnS QDs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy analysis. The XRD result confirms the successful formation of the wurtzite phase of ZnS, with a size of ~5 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), and fast Fourier transform (FFT) images reveal the synthesis of agglomerated ZnS QDs with different sizes, with lattice spacing (0.31 nm) corresponding to (111) lattice plane. The ZnS QDs sensor reveals a high sensitivity (92.4%) and fast response and recovery time (5.5 s and 6.7 s, respectively) for 100 ppm acetone at 175 °C. In addition, the ZnS QDs sensor elucidates high acetone selectivity of 91.1% as compared with other intrusive gases such as ammonia (16.0%), toluene (21.1%), ethanol (26.3%), butanol (11.2%), formaldehyde (9.6%), isopropanol (22.3%), and benzene (18.7%) for 100 ppm acetone concentration at 175 °C. Furthermore, it depicts outstanding stability (89.1%) during thirty days, with five day intervals, for 100 ppm at an operating temperature of 175 °C. In addition, the ZnS QDs acetone sensor elucidates a theoretical detection limit of ~1.2 ppm at 175 °C. Therefore, ZnS QDs can be a promising and quick traceable sensor nanomaterial for acetone sensing applications.
