Crystal Structure and Optical Properties of ZnO:Ce Nano Film.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
ZnO and cerium-doped ZnO on a glass substrate have been prepared by the sol-gel method using the spin coating technique and water bath growth process. Ce-doping concentration on film structure, morphology, and optical properties is investigated. The result indicated that the hexagonal wurtzite ZnO with high crystalline quality formed on the substrate. The crystal parameters a and c decreased, crystal size increased, and the compressive strain formed after Ce-doping. Formed un-, 3%, 6%, 12% Ce-doped ZnO film has a spherical shape with a size between 8.6-31, 14-52, 18-56, and 20-91 nm, respectively. All films had good absorption of 300-400 nm ultraviolet light, in particular, the absorption of near ultraviolet (370-400 nm) increased after doping of Ce. The transmittance of light between 400-800 nm decreased with Ce-doping concentration. The band gap energy increased after Ce-doping reaching better optical behavior for preparing ZnO heterostructured thin-film. All film emitted intense blue emission under 375 nm excitation at room temperature. This indicated the film can have application in optoelectronic devices.
