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

Bi-assisted ZnO nanorod (NR) arrays are investigated as thin, transparent, and fast nanostructured scintillator architectures for X-ray detection. Vertically aligned ZnO:Bi NR arrays were grown hydrothermally on fused-silica substrates in single-sided, refresh-grown, and double-sided configurations to investigate the effects of Bi-assisted growth, effective scintillating volume, and collection geometry on the measured luminescence response. Structural and morphological analyses show that moderate Bi-assisted growth preserves the preferential
