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

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) technology is a promising approach for converting solar energy into chemical energy, offering significant potential for renewable energy applications. In this work, the CuO thin film was fabricated with different pH value in between 8.5 ± 0.1 and 10.5 ± 0.1 via Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method. The Effect of pH on thickness, structural, morphological, elemental composition and optical properties were investigated by using stylus profilometry, XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, UV-vis and PL. The XRD results showed that as the pH increased, the crystallite size increased from 19.24 nm to 25.62 nm, with a monoclinic phase along the (111) direction. The CuO film deposited at pH value 10.5 ± 0.1 exhibit well defined identical particle with its size in the range between 200 and 300 nm was confirmed by SEM and TEM analysis. As the pH increased from 8.5 ± 0.1 to 10.5 ± 0.1, the CuO film bandgap (E
