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

A library of statistically random pentafluorostyrene (PFS) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) copolymers with narrow molecular weight distributions was produced, using nitroxide mediated polymerization (NMP) to study the effect of polymer composition on the performance of bottom-gate top-contact organic thin-film transistors, when utilized as the dielectric medium. Contact angle measurements confirmed the ability to tune the surface properties of copolymer thin films through variation of its PFS/MMA composition, while impedance spectroscopy determined the effect of this variation on dielectric properties. Bottom-gate, top-contact copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) based organic thin-film transistors were fabricated using the random copolymers as a dielectric layer. We found that increasing the PFS content led to increased field-effect mobility, until a point after which the CuPc no longer adhered to the polymer dielectric.
