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

Zinc Oxide thin films at room temperature with good crystallinity quality have been deposited at different Radio Frequency powers. Magnetron sputtering technique has been carried out on glass and oriented Si(100) substrates. The film structure has been characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and MicroRaman spectroscopy, which possesses a wurtzite structure with (002) preferential orientation selecting suitable conditions. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) have been utilized to determine the films surface morphology. The stoichiometry has been verified by Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis. The optical behaviors of the deposited films have been characterized by Ultraviolet Visible (UV-Vis) (optical transmittance measurements) as well as by Photoluminance characterization. Electrical properties, Current-Voltage (I-V) and Capacitance-Voltage (C-V) have been studied in details for Zinc Oxide on Silicon film that deposited at different Radio Frequency power. The high transparency, electrical behavior and smooth surface allow to use these Zinc Oxide films in photovoltaic cells and optoelectronics application.
