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

Detection of special nuclear materials (SNMs) is of vital importance in the prevention of nuclear terrorism and to secure states' national security. Neutron detection is a particularly useful tool to identify SNM, and neutron-sensitive scintillators have many promising properties, such as ease of use, good time resolution, and high detection efficiency. In this work, we develop highly stable, self-oriented, ultrafast 1D ZnO:Li (and codoped with Al, Ga, and In) nanorods (NRs) as thermal neutron-sensitive scintillators. Lithium-6 has high thermal neutron cross section for the (
