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

In this study, three different morphologies, nanoflower (NF), nano sponge (NS), and nano urchin (NU), of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures were synthesized successfully via a mild hydrothermal method. After synthesis, the samples were annealed in the atmosphere at 300, 600, and 800 °C. Although annealing provides different degradation kinetics for different morphologies, ZnO NS performed significantly better than other morphologies for all annealing temperatures we used in the study. When the photoluminescence, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, BET surface, and X-ray diffraction analysis results are examined, it is revealed that the defect structure, pore diameter, and crystallinity cumulatively affect the photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanocatalysts. As a result, to obtain high photocatalytic activity in rhodamine B (RhB) degradation, it is necessary to develop a ZnO catalyst with fewer core defects, more oxygen vacancies, near band emission, large crystallite size, and large pore diameter. The ZnO NS-800 °C nanocatalyst studied here had a 35.6 × 10
