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

Heterogeneous photocatalysis has been considered one of the most effective and efficient techniques to remove organic contaminants from wastewater. The present work was designed to examine the photocatalytic performance of metal (Cu and Ni) doped ZnO nanocomposites in methyl orange (MO) dye degradation under UV light illumination. The wurtzite hexagonal structure was observed for both undoped/doped ZnO and a crystalline size ranging between 8.84 ± 0.71 to 12.91 ± 0.84 nm by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) revealed the irregular spherical shape with particle diameter (34.43 ± 6.03 to 26.43 ± 4.14 nm) and ensured the purity of the individual elemental composition respectively. The chemical bonds (O-H group) and binding energy (1021.8 eV) were identified by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results respectively. The bandgap energy was decreased from 3.44 to 3.16 eV when Ni dopant was added to the ZnO lattice. The comparative photocatalytic activity was observed in undoped and doped nanocomposites and found to be 76.31%, 81.95%, 89.30%, and 83.39% for ZnO, Cu/ZnO, Ni/ZnO, and Cu/Ni/ZnO photocatalysts, respectively, for a particular dose (0.210 g) and dye concentration (10 mg L
