Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 demand for high-performance photodetectors has driven extensive research into materials with superior optoelectronic properties. This study presents the fabrication and ultraviolet (UV) photodetection capabilities of antimony (Sb)-doped cadmium sulfide (CdS) thin films. The thin films were deposited via the nebulizer spray pyrolysis (NSP) method onto glass substrates. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirms the presence of a hexagonal crystal structure in all films, with the 2 wt% Sb-doped CdS film exhibiting the highest crystallinity. Morphological examination using FESEM revealed that Sb-doping led to the formation of larger, densely packed grains for 2 wt% doped film, enhancing its charge transport properties. Optical studies showed enhanced light absorption with Sb incorporation, making the material more effective for UV detection. The photodetector performance was assessed through current vs. voltage (I-V) measurements. The photodetector performance was evaluated under 365 nm UV illumination with an intensity of 1 to 5 mW cm⁻² at an applied bias of ± 5 V. Among the prepared thin films, the 2 wt% Sb-doped CdS film demonstrated remarkable photoresponse, achieving a responsivity (R) of 1.84 A W
