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

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), a wide-bandgap semiconductor with excellent thermal stability, high electrical resistivity, and strong neutron absorption capacity, has attracted growing interest in the field of solid-state neutron detection. This review summarizes the progress in h-BN crystal growth technologies, including HPHT, CVD, and flux methods, highlighting their advantages and limitations. Among them, flux growth stands out for its simplicity and scalability in producing high-quality, large-area single crystals. The application potential of h-BN in next-generation neutron detectors is also discussed, along with key challenges such as
