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

Using single-bonded and fused aromatic rings are two methods for extending the π-conjugation in the vertical direction of benzo [1,2-b:4,5-b'] dithiophene (BDT) unit. To investigate which method is more efficient in nonfullerene systems, two novel polymers based on alkylthionaphthyl and alkylthiobiphenyl substituted BDT named PBDTNS-FTAZ and PBDTBPS-FTAZ are designed and synthesized. Two polymers only exhibit small differences in structure, but huge differences in photovoltaic properties. They are studied by blended with 3,9-bis(2-methylene-(3-(1,1-dicyanomethylene)indanone)-5,5,11,11-tetrakis(4-hexylphenyl)dithieno [2,3-d':2,3'-d']-s-indaceno [1,2-b:5,6-b'] dithiophene (ITIC). The device based on PBDTNS-FTAZ:ITIC showed the best power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 9.63% with the Voc of 0.87 V, a Jsc of 18.06 mA/cm
