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

Two groups of heteroleptic Cu(I)-based dyes were designed and theoretically investigated by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) methods. Different anchors were integrated into the dye skeleton to shed light on how the type of anchor influenced the electronic structure, absorption spectrum, electron excitation, and intramolecular and interfacial electron transfer of dyes. The results indicated that, compared with other dyes, the dyes with cyanoacrylic acid and nitric acid exhibited more appropriate electron distributions in frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), lower HOMO (the highest occupied molecular orbital) -LUMO (the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) energy gaps, broader absorption spectral ranges as well as improved spectral characteristics in the near-infrared region and better intramolecular electron transfer (IET) characteristics with more electrons transferred to longer distances, but smaller orbital overlap. Among all the studied Cu(I)-based dyes, B1 and P1 (with cyanoacrylic acid anchoring group) exhibited the best interface electronic structure parameters with a relatively short electron injection time (τ
