Experimental investigation of structural and optical properties of Mn-doped ZnO thin films deposited by pneumatic spray technique.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Mn-doped ZnO thin films with varying Mn concentrations were synthesized on glass substrates using the pneumatic spray technique. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis confirmed the substitution of Zn by Mn in the ZnO matrix. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed characteristic spin-orbit energy states of Zn:2p and Mn:3d, indicating strong Mn-ZnO interactions. Microstructural analysis showed non-uniform extended lines and spherical grains, with decreasing grain size as Mn concentration increased. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed a polycrystalline hexagonal structure, with experimentally determined lattice parameters a = 3.1453 Å, c = 5.1353 Å, in agreement with CASTEP calculations. Optical measurements indicated ~ 80% absorbance in the visible range, with a shift from blue to red as Mn content increased, suggesting bandgap modulation. These findings highlight the potential of Mn-doped ZnO films for tunable optoelectronic applications.
