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

Zinc oxide (ZnO)-based ceramics have been widely studied for thermoelectric applications due to their abundance, non-toxicity, cost-effectiveness, thermal stability, and high Seebeck coefficient. In this work, a series of yttrium (Y)-doped ZnO samples was synthesized using the sol-gel method followed by conventional sintering. The thermoelectric property measurements coupled with detailed structural characterization were systematically performed to establish a structure-property relationship. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirms limited substitution of Y at the Zn-site in the lattice of ZnO. The surplus Y-doping results in the formation of the secondary phase Y
