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

A cuprous iodide (CuI) crystal is considered to be one of the inorganic scintillator materials with the fastest time response, which is expected to play an important role in the field of γ and X rays detection in the future. To improve the detection performance of the CuI scintillator, the effects of element doping on the electronic structure and optical properties of the γ-CuI were investigated by using the first principles calculation method. It was found that Li and Na doping increases the band gap of the γ-CuI scintillator, while Cs, F, Cl, and Br doping decreases the band gap. The optical absorption coefficient of the γ-CuI scintillator is decreased by the Li and Na doping, and the Cs, F, Cl, and Br doping has little effect on the optical absorption coefficient. The effects of the Tl doping on the electronic structure and optical properties of the γ-CuI scintillator depends on its concentration. Based on the changes in the electronic structure and optical properties, we conclude that the Cs, F, Cl, and Br doping might be a good method that can enhance the detection performance of the γ-CuI scintillator.
