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

A hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) based p-n homo-junction is expected to demonstrate a great potential for being fabricated into an emitter (either light-emitting diode or laser diode) in the deep-UV spectral region. However, it remains a great challenge to achieve n-type conductive hBN. Herein, n-type hBN is obtained by means of doping sulfur into hBN. The structure and the electric properties of S-doped hBN is studied via density functional theory, indicating that the orbital coupling between S 3p and B 2p orbital introduces shallow donor energy levels. The S atoms in the multilayer structure demonstrate enhanced electron delocalization compared with its mono-layer counterpart, suggesting that multilayer hBN:S is more inclined to be n-type conductive than its mono-layer counterpart. Experimentally, a multilayer hBN:S sample is successfully grown on sapphire substrates, where the S content, up to 1.21%, is obtained. The hBN:S film shows an in-plane current of 1.6 nA using Ti as ohmic contact and 8.4 nA using Ni as Schottky contact, respectively. The donor level induced by the S atoms is located at 0.349 eV below the CBM. Finally, a vertically-stacked n-hBN/p-hBN (hBN:S/hBN: Mg) structured junction is grown, and demonstrating a promise for being fabricated into a deep-UV emitter.
