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

In the current research, the silicon carbon oxynitride (SiCON) thin film was deposited on the silicon (Si) substrate by radio frequency (RF) reactive magnetron sputtering method. To comprehensively assess the impact of nitrogen flux rate on thin film characteristics, a suite of advanced analytical methods was utilized. The GIXRD analysis confirmed that the SiCON thin film is amorphous in structure. Additionally, Raman spectroscopy detected no graphite nanocrystals within the film. Ellipsometry measurements further showed that the refractive index of the thin films rises with increased nitrogen flux in the reactive gas, indicating a direct correlation between nitrogen concentration during deposition and optical properties. Based on the designs made with McLeod's software, the amount of reflection can be reduced up to 5.7 % at the wavelength of 4 μm and up to 8.5 % in the wavelength range of 3-5 μm for an optimal thickness thin film. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) examination revealed that the surface roughness of the thin films decreases as the nitrogen flux in the reactive gas mixture increases. Additionally, measurements of the water contact angle (WCA) indicated that the SiCON thin films exhibit a hydrophilic state.
