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 surging demand and adoption of infrared photodetectors (IRPDs) in sectors of imaging, mobile, healthcare, automobiles, and optical communication are hindered by the prohibitive costs of traditional IRPD materials such as InGaAs and HgCdTe. Quantum dots (QDs), especially lead chalcogenide (PbS) QDs, represent the next-generation low-bandgap semiconductors for near-infrared (NIR) detection due to their high optical absorption coefficient, tunable bandgap, low fabrication costs, and device compatibility. Innovative techniques such as ligand exchange processes have been proposed to boost the performance of PbS QDs photodetectors, mostly using short ligands like 1,2-ethanedithiol (EDT) and tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI). Our study explores the use of long-chain dithiol ligands to enhance the responsivity of PbS QDs/InGaZnO phototransistors. Long-chain dithiol ligands are found to suppress horizontal electron transport/leakage and electron trapping, which is beneficial for responsivity. Utilizing a novel ligand-exchange technique with 1,10-decanedithiol (DDT), we develop high-performance hybrid phototransistors with detectivity exceeding 10
