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

The local droplet etching (LDE) by using indium droplets on bare InP(100) surfaces is demonstrated in a metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) environment for the first time. The role of an arsenic flow applied to self-assembled metallic indium droplets is systematically studied. Increasing the arsenic supply leads to the formation of ring-like nanostructures and nanoholes. The results are analyzed with reference to LDE in a molecular beam epitaxy environment, where such a technique is well established, particularly for arsenide-based III-V semiconductors, and where only one group-V material is involved. Here, As-P exchange reactions at droplet sites are identified as the drivers for the formation of nanoholes. Such nanoholes can serve as nucleation sites for subsequent fabrication of highly symmetric QDs by nanohole-infilling or as a means for in situ surface nanopatterning. LDE on InP by MOVPE can thus be considered as a promising approach for the cost-effective fabrication of novel quantum emitters at the telecom C-band.
