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

Organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) directly convert between ionic and electronic charge through electrochemical (de)doping, enabling a wide range of applications in bioelectronics, neuromorphic computing, and energy storage and conversion. While both ionic and electronic transport are individually well characterized, their combined transport has been difficult to describe self-consistently. We use in situ measurements of electrochemical (de)doping of an archetypal OMIEC to inform a quasi-field drift-diffusion model, which accurately captures experimentally measured ion transport across a range of potentials. We find that the chemical potential of holes, which is modulated by changes in doping level, represents a major driving force for mixed charge transport. Using numerical simulations at device-relevant time scales and potentials, we find that the competition between hole drift and diffusion leads to diffuse space charge regions despite high charge densities. This effect is unique to mixed conducting systems where mobile ionic charges can compensate the accumulation or depletion of electronic charge, thereby screening electrostatic driving forces.
