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

Photofunctional co-crystal engineering strategies based on donor-acceptor π-conjugated system facilitates expedient molecular packing, consistent morphology, and switchable optical properties, conferring synergic 'structure-property relationship' for optoelectronic and biological functions. In this work, a series of organic co-crystals were formulated using a twisted aromatic hydrocarbon (TAH) donor and three diverse planar acceptors, resulting in color-tunable solid and aggregated state emission via variable packing and through-space charge-transfer interactions. While, adjusting the strength of acceptors, a structural transformation into hybrid stacking modes ultimately results in color-specific polymorphs, a configurational cis-isomer with very high photoluminescence quantum yield. The cis-isomeric co-crystal exhibits triplet-harvesting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) characteristics, presenting a key discovery in hydrocarbon-based multicomponent systems. Further, 1D-microrod-shaped co-crystal acts as an efficient photon-transducing optical waveguides, and their excellent dispersibility in water endows efficient cellular internalization with bright cell imaging performances. These salient approaches may open more avenues for the design and applications of TAH based co-crystals.
