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

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) is an important semiconductor for electronic and photovoltaic applications, particularly when utilized as a thin film for window layers in CdTe solar cells. Deposition of thin-film CdS through the decomposition of single-source precursors is an attractive approach due to the facile, low-temperature, and rapid nature of this approach. Tailoring the precursor to affect the decomposition properties is commonly employed to tune desirable temperatures of decomposition. However, altering the precursor structure and the effect this has on the nature of the deposited material is an area far less commonly investigated. Here, we seek to investigate this by altering the ligands around the Cd metal center to increase the steric hindrance of the precursor and investigate the effect this has on the decomposition properties and the properties of deposited thin-film CdS from these precursors. For this, we report the synthesis of four CdS precursors with xanthate and pyridyl ligands ([Cd(
