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 immense challenge of large-scale implementation of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting and carbon fixation lies in the need for a cheap, durable, and efficacious photocatalyst. Cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) holds compelling potential due to its auspicious band positions and high-volume, high-quality, single crystal industrial manufacturing, but is hindered by its inferior light absorptivity and anodic instability. A slanted parabolic pore photonic crystal (spbPore PC) architecture with graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN), nickel(II) oxide (NiO), or 6H silicon carbide protective coatings is proposed to overcome the drawbacks of 3C-SiC photoelectrodes. A 30 µm- and 62 µm-thick 3C-SiC spbPore PC of lattice constant 0.8 µm demonstrates maximum achievable photocurrent density (MAPD) of 9.95 and 11.53 mA cm
