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

contextThis study aims to investigate the electronic transport properties of tetracene molecule connected to gold (Au) electrodes with asymmetric anchoring groups. More specifically, we investigate the effect of asymmetric electrode coupling on the rectification ratio of tetracene-based molecular device. To introduce coupling asymmetry in these junctions, one end of the tetracene molecule is terminated with thiol (-SH) or isocyanide (-NC) while the other end with amine (-NH

methodsBy applying non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism combined with density functional theory (DFT) Atomistic Tool Kit software package, the electronic transport properties of tetracene molecule connected to gold electrodes with asymmetric anchoring groups have been investigated. The calculations were performed using the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) parameterization of DFT within generalized gradient approximation (GGA) exchange-correlation functional. To improve calculation precision and save computational efforts, the molecule and anchor groups were double-ζ (DZ) polarized, while single-ζ (SZ) polarized basis set was used for gold electrodes.
