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

Recently, two-dimensional semiconductor materials with moderate band gaps and significant light absorption have been highly sought for application in photocatalysis and nanoelectronics. In this study, novel monolayer SiN and GeN have been predicted by using first-principles calculations. They have excellent thermal and dynamic stabilities and present indirect band gaps of 2.58 eV and 2.21 eV with anisotropic carrier mobility, respectively. Suitable band gaps and band edges of SiN and GeN indicate that they can simultaneously produce both hydrogen and oxygen in the pH range of 6 to 14 and 0 to 10, respectively. Theoretical studies on strain engineering show that their band gaps could be effectively tuned by both biaxial tensile and compressive strain. Our work enriches the family of two-dimensional semiconductor materials and shows that monolayer SiN and GeN are promising candidates for electronic devices and photocatalysis.
