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

Based on the widely used wet metal-assisted electroless etching, we develop in this work a novel vapor-phase silver-assisted chemical etching (VP-Ag-ACE) suitable for the elaboration of highly doped p-silicon (Si) nanostructures with strong, visible, and multi-peak photoluminescence (PL) emissions. The lateral and vertical etching rates (LER and VER) were discussed based on the etching mechanism of the VP-Ag-ACE. The antireflective suitability of the vapor-etched layer has been evaluated by a reflectivity measurement and exhibits reflectivity values lower than 3%. The PL emission at both room and low temperatures emissions were deeply discussed and correlated with the structural properties of the Si morphologies and their surface states based on the FTIR results.
