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 conductivity of AgNWs electrodes can be enhanced by incorporating Ag grids, thereby facilitating the development of large-area flexible organic solar cells (FOSCs). Ag grids from vacuum evaporation offer the advantages of simple film formation, adjustable thickness, and unique structure. However, the complex 3D multi-component structure of AgNWs electrodes will exacerbate the aggregation of large Ag particles, causing the device short circuits. To address this issue, the relationship between the surface energy of modification layers and the morphology and conductivity of ultrathin Ag on AgNWs is studied. The amorphous ZnO (α-ZnO) layer promotes Ag growth from Volmer-Weber (VW) to Frank-Van der Merwe (FM), reducing particle aggregation. The 1 µm thick PET/AgNWs/Ag grid electrode with α-ZnO exhibited low contact resistance and high conductivity. As a result, 1 cm
