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 chemical bath deposition of ZnO nanowires is of high interest for many functional devices, but the typical use of hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) molecules forming formaldehyde as a harmful substance raises health, environment, and regulation issues. After a careful review of the multiple roles of HMTA molecules, we unambiguously show, using X-ray near-edge structure absorption spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation, that they do not form any complexes with the Zn(II) species, both in the low- and high-pH regions. In contrast and in agreement with thermodynamic computations, [Zn(H
