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

Surface texturing is a crucial step in enhancing the light-trapping efficiency of silicon solar cells by reducing optical reflection. The etching time plays a key role in determining the morphology and effectiveness of the textured surface. This study investigates the impact of chemical texturing duration on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of p-type boron-doped silicon wafers for solar cell applications. Texturing was performed using a mixture of potassium hydroxide and isopropyl alcohol (KOH-IPA) solution for varying durations (5-25 min). Structural, optical and electrical analysis revealed optimal pyramid formation at 20 min, coinciding with the lowest reflectivity and the lowest energy gap E
