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

We describe the unusual properties of γ-SnSe, a new orthorhombic binary phase in the tin monoselenide system. This phase exhibits an ultranarrow band gap under standard pressure and temperature conditions, leading to high conductivity under ambient conditions. Density functional calculations identified the similarity and difference between the new γ-SnSe phase and the conventional α-SnSe based on the electron localization function. Very good agreement was obtained for the band gap width between the band structure calculations and the experiment, and insight provided for the mechanism of reduction in the band gap. The unique properties of this material may render it useful for applications such as thermal imaging devices and solar cells.
