Combining nanotechnology and nanohybrid methods to improve the physical and chemical properties of CuS and boost its photocatalytic aptitude.
Article in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
This study used a simple chemical method followed by ultrasonication to make copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles and their carbon nanotube-based nanohybrid (CuS-CNTs). To characterize the catalysts, different methods were employed. XRD was used to confirm that the CNTs were integrated with the crystalline structure, FTIR was used to detect functional groups, and SEM-EDX further verified the catalysts' shape and make-up. The addition of CNTs enhanced the optical, optoelectronic, and electrical properties of CuS by preventing particle adhesion. UV-Vis, photoluminescence, and current-voltage tests showed that the material could absorb more light, stop charges from combining, and move charges more efficiently. Carbon content, moisture absorption, and thermal stability were evaluated through TGA analysis. The nanohybrid had great photocatalytic activity in visible light, breaking down all of the MB dye in 90 min. In comparison, bare CuS only mineralizes 65.9% of the dye in 100 min.
