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

π-Stacking, which is a ubiquitous structural motif in assemblies of aromatic compounds, is well-known to provide a transport pathway for charge carriers and excitons, while its contribution to thermal transport is still unclear. Herein, based on detailed experimental observations of the thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, and specific heat of a single-crystalline triphenylene featuring a one-dimensionally π-stacked structure, we describe the nature of thermal transport through the π-stacked columns. We reveal that acoustic phonons are responsible for thermal transport through the π-stacked columns, which exhibit crystal-like behavior. Importantly, the thermal energy stored as intramolecular vibrations can also be transported by coupling to the acoustic phonons. In contrast, in the direction perpendicular to the π-stacked columns, an amorphous-like thermal transport behavior dominates. The present finding offers deep insight into nanoscale thermal transport in organic materials, where the constituent molecules exist as discrete entities linked together by weak intermolecular interactions.
