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

Structural disorder in molecular crystals is a fundamental limitation for achieving high charge carrier mobilities. Quantifying and uncovering the mechanistic origins of disorder are, however, extremely challenging. Here we use variable coherence transmission electron microscopy to analyze disorder in tri-isopropyl silane pentacene films, utilizing diffuse scattering that is present both as linear streaks and as a slowly varying, isotropic background. The former is due to thermal vibration of the pentacene molecules along their long axis, while the latter is due to static defects kinetically frozen during film deposition. The thermal vibrational amplitude is ∼0.4 Å, while the static displacement parameter in our simplified analysis is much larger (1.0 Å), because it represents the cumulative scattering of all defect configurations that are frozen in the film. Thin film fabrication therefore has an important effect on crystallinity; our technique can be readily used to compare samples prepared under different conditions.
