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

Photoinduced charge transfer and separation events in a newly synthesized azobenzene-bridged perylenediimide-dimer (PDI-dimer) are demonstrated. Trans-to-cis conversion (∼50 % efficiency) from the initial trans PDI-dimer by 355 nm pulsed laser light, and its reversal, cis-to-trans, process by 435 nm laser light irradiation has been possible to accomplish. Efficient fluorescence quenching in the PDI-dimer, more so for the cis isomer was witnessed, and such quenching increased with increasing solvent polarity. DFT-calculated geometry and electronic structures helped in visualizing the charge transfer in the PDI-dimer in both isomeric forms, and also revealed certain degree of participation of the azobenzene entity in the charge transfer events. Femtosecond transient absorption spectral studies confirmed occurrence of both charge transfer followed by charge separation in the studied PDI-dimer in both trans and cis forms in polar solvents, and the evaluated time constants from Global target analysis revealed accelerated events in the cis PDI-dimer due to proximity effects. The present study offers key insights on the role of the azobenzene bridge, and the dimer geometry in governing the excited state charge transfer and separation in symmetrically linked PDI dimer.
