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

Enhancement of the photocatalytic activity of black phosphorus (BP) is a highly challenging proposition. The fabrication of electrospun composite nanofibers (NFs) through the incorporation of modified BP nanosheets (BPNs) into conductive polymeric NFs has been recently introduced as a newer strategy not only to enhance the photocatalytic activity of BPNs but also to overcome their drawbacks including ambient instability, aggregation, and hard recycling, which exist in their nanoscale powdered forms. The proposed composite NFs were prepared through the incorporation of silver (Ag)-modified BPNs, gold (Au)-modified BPNs, and graphene oxide (GO)-modified BPNs into polyaniline/polyacrylonitrile (PANi/PAN) NFs by an electrospinning process. The successful preparation of the modified BPNs and electrospun NFs was confirmed by the characterization techniques of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and Raman spectroscopy. The pure PANi/PAN NFs exhibited high thermal stability with a main weight loss of ∼23% for the temperature range of 390-500 °C, and the thermal stability of NFs was enhanced after their incorporation with the modified BPNs. The BPNs@GO-incorporated PANi/PAN NFs indicated improved mechanical properties compared to the pure PANi/PAN NFs with tensile strength (TS) of 1.83 MPa and elongation at break (EAB) of 24.91%. The wettability of the composite NFs was measured in the range of 35-36°, which exhibited their good hydrophilicity. The photodegradation performance was found in the sequence of BPNs@GO > BPNs@Au > BPNs@Ag > bulk BP ∼BPNs > red phosphorus (RP) for methyl orange (MO) and in the sequence of BPNs@GO > BPNs@Ag > BPNs@Au > bulk BP > BPNs > RP for methylene blue (MB), accordingly. The composite NFs degraded the MO and MB dyes more efficiently relative to the modified BPNs and pure PANi/PAN NFs.
