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
Indium antimonide (InSb) colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are promising candidates for short-wave infrared (SWIR) photodetectors due to their large Bohr exciton radius and tunable bandgap in the 0.6-1.3 eV range. However, the formation of metal oxides on InSb surfaces during synthesis impedes charge transport, necessitating CQD resurfacing strategies for integration into photodetectors. Previous reports achieved progress in device efficiency by resurfacing these CQDs with acid-halide sequential treatments, but the device operating stability remains unsatisfactory. Herein, we report a solution-phase strategy for surface reconstruction and passivation of InSb CQDs using sulfur-based nucleophilic covalent ligands. We find that short-chain thiol molecules remove surface metal oxides through nucleophilic attack and enable robust passivation of In and Sb via strong covalent bonds, whereas metal sulfides are less effective at oxide removal and passivation. Consequently, the thiolate-passivated CQDs exhibit a tenfold decrease in trap state density compared to controls and remain structurally and optically stable for 5 months. We demonstrate InSb CQD SWIR photodetectors that realize a high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 28% at 1450 nm, with the highest operating stability among reported CQD SWIR photodetectors, retaining 95% of performance following 300 h of biased and illuminated operation.
