Towards the development of functionalized polypyridine ligands for Ru(II) complexes as photosensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
Review in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
A number of novel ruthenium(II) polypyridine complexes have been designed and synthesized for use as photosensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) due to their rich photophysical properties such as intense absorption, long-lived lifetimes, high emission quantum yields and unique redox characteristics. Many of these complexes exhibit photophysical behavior that can be readily controlled through a careful choice of ligands and/or substituents. With this perspective, we review the design and general synthetic methods of some polypyridine ligands based on bipyridine, phenanthroline, terpyridine and quaterpyridine with/without anchoring groups with a view to correlate functionality of ligand structures with the observed photophysical, electroredox and power conversion efficiency of some examples of Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes that have been reported andparticularly used in the DSSCs applications. The main interest, however, is focused on showing the development of new polypyridine ligand materials containing long-range electron transfer motifs such as the alkenyl, alkynyl and polyaromatic donor functionalities.
