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

Intersystem crossing to the long-lived metastable triplet state is often a strong limitation on fluorescence brightness of single molecules, particularly for perylene in various matrices. In this paper, we report on a strong excitation-induced reverse intersystem crossing (rISC), a process where single perylene molecules in a dibenzothiophene matrix recover faster from the triplet state, turning into bright emitters at saturated excitation powers. With a detailed study of single-molecule fluorescence autocorrelations, we quantify the effect of rISC. The intrinsic lifetimes found for the two effective triplet states (8.5±0.4 ms and 64±12 ms) become significantly shorter, into the sub-millisecond range, as the excitation power increases and fluorescence brightness is ultimately enhanced at least fourfold. Our results are relevant for the understanding of triplet state manipulation of single-molecule quantum emitters and for markedly improving their brightness.
