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

Layered perovskite oxides are promising materials for photocatalytic applications; however, their photocatalytic efficiency is often limited by wide band gaps and rapid charge recombination. In this study, the photocatalytic performance of Mo doped La0.9Sr1.1CoO4 layered perovskites for the degradation of methyl orange was investigated under UV irradiation, for the first time. Nanopowders of La0.9Sr1.1Co1−xMoxO4 (x = 0, 0.05 and 0.1) were successfully synthesized using a modified sol-gel route. The structural properties, morphology and lattice dynamics of the synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and Raman spectroscopy, respectively. The structural analysis confirmed a tetragonal structure with the I4/mmm space group for all samples. UV-Vis spectroscopy showed a reduction in the optical band gap energy of Mo doped La0.9Sr1.1CoO4 from 3.6 eV (x = 0) to 2.9 eV (x = 0.1). Photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange revealed that the Mo-doped samples achieved higher efficiency (80%) compared with the undoped sample (37%). In addition, the nonlinear optical absorption of the synthesized powders was investigated using open-aperture Z-scan technique. All samples exhibited a positive nonlinear refractive index related to the self-focusing effect. The nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear absorption coefficients of Mo doped specimens were obtained in order of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively.
