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

The feasibility of singlet fission (SF) in organic photosensitizers is investigated through spin-flip long-range corrected time-dependent density functional theory. This study focuses on four major organic photosensitizer molecules: benzophenone, boron-dipyrromethene, methylene blue, and rose bengal. Calculations demonstrate that all these molecules possess moderate [Formula: see text]-stacking energies and closely-lying singlet (S) and quintet (triplet-triplet, TT) excitations, satisfying the essential conditions for SF: (1) Near-degenerate low-lying S and (TT) excitations with a significant S-T energy gap, and (2) Moderate [Formula: see text]-stacking energy of chromophores, slightly higher than solvation energy, enabling dissociation for triplet-state chromophore generation. Moreover, based on the El-Sayed rule, intersystem crossing is found to simultaneously proceed at very slow rates in all these photosensitizers. This is attributed to the fact that the lowest singlet excitation of the monomers partly involves [Formula: see text] transitions alongside the main [Formula: see text] transitions. The proposed mechanisms are strongly substantiated by comparisons with experimental studies.
