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

Vanadium and oxygen form a complex system of vanadium oxides with multiple phases and mixed valency, increasing the difficulty of characterization. In this work, amorphous vanadium oxide thin films with mixed valence states were fabricated by atomic layer deposition, and then post-annealing was conducted for crystalline films. For the surface analysis of this mixed-valence system, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) were employed. However, XPS is only able to quasi-quantitatively determine the surface-proximity oxidation states. To account for the inadequacy of surface-sensitive XPS and AES techniques, a surface oxidation model (SOM) was proposed for the ellipsometric modeling of the mixed-valence system. Furthermore, by conducting air thermal oxidation (ATO) experiments, the four sets of fitting parameters of SOM were decreased to three, lowering the system complexity. This study is expected to help with the analysis of vanadium oxide mixed-valence systems and other multivalent metal oxide systems.
