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

Non-fullerene small molecular acceptors (NFSMAs) exhibit promising photovoltaic performance which promoted the rapid progress of organic solar cells (OSCs). In this study, an attempt is done to explore indenothiophene-based high-performance small molecular electron acceptors for organic solar cells. We have designed five acceptor molecules (M1-M5) with strong donor moiety indenothiophene linked to five different end-capped group acceptor moieties: diflouro-2-methylene-3-oxo-2,3-dihydroindene-1-ylidene)malononitrile (A1), 1-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methylene-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5,6-dicarbonitrile (A2), methyl-6-cyano-3-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methylene-1-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboylate (A3), 2-(6-cyano-5-fluoro-2-methylene-3-oxo-2,3 dihydro-1H-indene-1-ylidene)malononitrile (A4), and (Z)-methyl 3-(benzo [c][1,2,5]thiadiazol-4-yl)-2-cyanoacrylate (A5) respectively. The structure-property relationship was studied and effects of structural modification on the optoelectronic properties of these acceptors (M1-M5) were determined systematically by comparing it with reference molecule R, which is recently reported as excellent non-fullerene-based small acceptor molecule. Among all designed molecules, M5 is proven as a suitable candidate for organic solar cell applications due to better photovoltaic properties including narrow HOMO-LUMO energy gap (2.11 eV), smallest electron mobility (λ
