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 recent years, plasmonics has been widely employed to improve light trapping in solar cells. Silver nanospheres have been used in several research works to improve the capability of solar absorption. In this paper, we use silver pyramid-shaped nanoparticles, a noble plasmonic nanoparticle, inside thin-film silicon and InP solar cells to increase light absorption compared to previously published topologies. The proposed structure consists of a TiO
