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 electrodeposition of ZnO films was studied using potentiostatic mode in varying conditions including the presence of graphene oxide (GO) as a buffer layer and an additional deposition step. The obtained films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effect of electrodeposition conditions on the adsorption and photocatalytic properties of ZnO nanostructured films was analyzed by using methylene blue (MB) as a model dye molecule and exposure to UV light. The results indicated a marked effect of GO content in the buffer layer and the duration of nucleation on the properties of electrodeposited ZnO films. Lower GO content and an additional deposition step of 60 s resulted in the best adsorption and photocatalytic activity, these being 7 and 5-folds, respectively, in comparison to ZnO in absence of these adjustments. The MB photodegradation was found to follow first-order kinetics, the rate constant reaching a value of 2.38 × 10
