Recent Advances in Structuring and Patterning Silicon Nanowire Arrays for Engineering Light Absorption in Three Dimensions.
Review in ACS applied energy materials, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Vertically aligned silicon nanowire (VA-SiNW) arrays can significantly enhance light absorption and reduce light reflection for efficient light trapping. VA-SiNW arrays thus have the potential to improve solar cell design by providing reduced front-face reflection while allowing the fabrication of thin, flexible, and efficient silicon-based solar cells by lowering the required amount of silicon. Because their interaction with light is highly dependent on the array geometry, the ability to control the array morphology, functionality, and dimension offers many opportunities. Herein, after a short discussion about the remarkable optical properties of SiNW arrays, we report on our recent progress in using chemical and electrochemical methods to structure and pattern SiNW arrays in three dimensions, providing substrates with spatially controlled optical properties. Our approach is based on metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) and three-dimensional electrochemical axial lithography (3DEAL), which are both affordable and large-scale wet-chemical methods that can provide a spatial resolution all the way down to the sub-5 nm range.
