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

Purely organic materials with the characteristic of room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) under ambient conditions demonstrate potential benefits in advanced optoelectronic applications. Exploration of versatile and efficient RTP compounds with low prices is full of challenges due to the slow intersystem crossing process and ultrafast deactivation of the active excited states of organic compounds. Here, a series of boron-containing phosphors were found to present RTP with long-lived lifetimes. Among these commercially available and cheap compounds, (4-methoxyphenyl)boronic acid (PBA-MeO) exhibits long-lived RTP, with a lifetime of 2.24 s, which is among the longest lifetimes of single-component small molecules. Our extensive experiments illustrate that both a rigid conformation and expanded conjugation induced by molecular alignment contribute to the persistent RTP. Because of strong intermolecular interactions
