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.
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
Conventionally, composite materials are usually employed as a catalyst in piezo-photocatalytic dye wastewater treatment. Here, we report the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles, as a single-component catalyst, by surfactant-assisted precipitation in which the size of ZnO nanoparticles (20-100 nm) can be simply controlled by the use of Tween80 as a surfactant. Although, ZnO nanoparticles exhibited appreciable photocatalytic activities for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye, upon the addition of a mechanical force, the photocatalytic dye degradation efficiency was substantially improved. Furthermore, we postulated that the surface properties of ZnO play an important role in charge transfer phenomena based on photoluminescence results together with functional groups on the surface of ZnO. In addition, application of single-component ZnO in piezo-promoted photocatalytic degradation of cationic and anionic dyes was accomplished. Our results regarding the behaviour of single-component ZnO nanoparticles under vibrational energy in addition to their conventional solar harvesting can provide a promising strategy for developing photocatalysts for practical wastewater treatment.
