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

Following an experimental work, we employed density functionals B3LYP, B97D, CAM-B3LYP, BMK, and M06-HF to study the impact of Ca-doping on a ZnO nanotube (ZnONT) sensing performance to the formaldehyde gas. The interaction of the pristine ZnONT with the formaldehyde gas was found to be weak, and the sensing response is 0.7 based on the B3LYP results. Doping a Ca atom into the ZnONT changes the adsorption energy of formaldehyde from - 4.2 to - 36.1 kcal/mol. Energy decomposing analysis indicated that the nature of interaction is partially electrostatic and covalent. The sensing response significantly rises to 4.2 by Ca-doping (experimental value ~ 5.28). A short recovery time of 5.6 s is found for the formaldehyde gas desorption from the Ca@ZnONT surface at 300 °C. Both theory and experiment suggest that Ca-doped ZnONT may be a formaldehyde gas sensor with a short recovery time.
