Cu-doped ZnO nanoparticles and its application for the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Rhodamine B (RhB), a dye with high environmental pollution risks, necessitates effective degradation strategies for environmental protection. Photocatalytic degradation technology offers a viable solution to mitigate such pollution, with ZnO being extensively utilized in dye degradation due to its excellent ultraviolet (UV) photocatalytic performance. In this study, Cu-doped ZnO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized via a facile method. When the Cu doping level was 0.5%, the material exhibited remarkable photocatalytic activity under UV irradiation, achieving complete RhB degradation within 2 h (degradation efficiency up to 100%). The physical and chemical properties of the material were systematically analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicated that Cu incorporation did not alter the crystallinity of ZnO but significantly enhanced its light response capability. Based on the experimental results of UV-catalyzed RhB solution degradation, the photocatalytic mechanism of Cu-doped ZnO was thoroughly investigated, providing theoretical insights and technical support for the development of high-efficiency photocatalysts for dye degradation.
