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

Photocatalysis is an important means of realizing the efficient use of solar energy and alleviating energy consumption and environmental pollution. This work used a simple solvothermal synthesis method to prepare a series of zinc sulfide/sulfur-doped polyimide (ZnS/SPI) direct Z-type heterostructured photocatalysts. ZnS/SPI heterostructured photocatalysts have better photogenerated electron-hole pairs separation and wider visible light absorption region. The effect of ZnS on the properties of ZnS/SPI composites, such as morphology, structure, and optoelectronic properties, was systematically investigated by a series of characterization tests. These results showed that the photocatalytic activity of the ZnS/SPI composite was significantly improved compared with SPI. The 10ZnS/SPI composite exhibited the highest photocatalytic hydrogen production rate under full irradiation (216.9 µmol/g/h), which was about 2.8 times higher than that of SPI (76.6 µmol/g/h). Moreover, it has a high stability over a long period in the photocatalytic process. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of the ZnS/SPI heterojunction is mainly due to the close contact between the ZnS nanoparticles and the SPI interface, which improves the charge separation and reduces the complexation rate of electron-hole. This work shows that the formation of ZnS/SPI composites Z-type heterojunction can effectively enhance the activity of polymer photocatalysts.
