Light-enhanced electrical behavior of a Au/Al-doped ZnO/p-Si/Al heterostructure: insights from impedance and current-voltage analysis.
Article in RSC advances, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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, we meticulously deposited an Al-doped ZnO nanoparticle thin film on a p-type silicon substrate using the precise sputtering method. We conducted a comprehensive exploration of the film's structure, morphology, and optical properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed its polycrystalline wurtzite configuration with a dominant (002) orientation. High-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed a uniformly textured surface adorned with densely packed nanoparticles. Regarding optical properties, the Al-doped ZnO thin film exhibited exceptional transmittance exceeding 80% across visible and near-infrared spectra. Moving on to electrical characteristics, we assessed the Au/Al-doped ZnO/p-Si/Al heterostructure under dark and illuminated conditions. Through current-voltage (
