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

With the progress of wide bandgap semiconductors, compact solid-state light-emitting devices for the ultraviolet wavelength region are of considerable technological interest as alternatives to conventional ultraviolet lamps in recent years. Here, the potential of aluminum nitride (AlN) as an ultraviolet luminescent material was studied. An ultraviolet light-emitting device, equipped with a carbon nanotube (CNT) array as the field-emission excitation source and AlN thin film as cathodoluminescent material, was fabricated. In operation, square high-voltage pulses with a 100 Hz repetition frequency and a 10% duty ratio were applied to the anode. The output spectra reveal a dominant ultraviolet emission at 330 nm with a short-wavelength shoulder at 285 nm, which increases with the anode driving voltage. This work has explored the potential of AlN thin film as a cathodoluminescent material and provides a platform for investigating other ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductors. Furthermore, while using AlN thin film and a carbon nanotube array as electrodes, this ultraviolet cathodoluminescent device can be more compact and versatile than conventional lamps. It is anticipated to be useful in a variety of applications such as photochemistry, biotechnology and optoelectronics devices.
