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

Macroporous silicon is a promising substrate in the field of optics, electronics, etc. In this paper, highly ordered macropore arrays were fabricated in p-type silicon wafers by electrochemical etching using a double-tank cell. The effect of the silicon resistivity, etching voltage and etching time on the pore morphology was investigated and the influence mechanism was analyzed. The pore diameter would decrease with the increase in the silicon resistivity and the decrease in the etching voltage, due to the increase in the space charge region width (SCRL). The pore depth would increase with the resistivity and the voltage. However, too high resistivity would cause insufficiency at the pore tips and too high voltage would cause pore splitting, which may cause a decrease in the pore depth. Then, the aspect ratio of 21 can be obtained on the silicon wafer with a resistivity of 50-80 Ω·cm at the etching voltage of 5 V with a maximum etching rate of about 0.92 μm/min.
