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

Amorphous Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (a-IGZO) thin films were deposited on silicon and glass substrates using a magnetron sputtering system at room temperature. The structural, morphological, optical, and electrical properties of the films were systematically investigated to evaluate their suitability for ultraviolet photodetection. Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry and Atomic Force Microscopy were employed to characterize the film composition and surface topology, while Hall Effect and Current-Voltage measurements were used to assess the electrical performance. The optical properties were analyzed in the 200-1100 nm spectral range using UV-VIS spectroscopy. A Metal-Semiconductor-Metal (MSM) photodetector was fabricated using a-IGZO film. The average transmittance of the film is 80%, an estimated optical energy gap value is 3.1 eV, and the band tail width is 382 meV. The electrical results for carrier density, mobility, and resistivity were determined to be 4.88 × 10
