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.
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
Singlet fission (SF), which involves the conversion of a singlet excited state into two triplet excitons, holds great potential to boost the efficiency of photovoltaics. However, losses due to triplet-triplet annihilation hamper the efficient harvesting of SF-generated triplet excitons, which limits an effective implementation in solar energy conversion schemes. A fundamental understanding of the underlying structure-property relationships is thus crucial to define design principles for cutting-edge SF materials, yet it remains elusive. Herein, we harness helical supramolecular polymers decorated with pentacene side groups to elucidate intermolecular SF dynamics in solution and promote the formation of long-lived mobile triplets. By leveraging the hydrogen bonding-driven assembly of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) cores into one-dimensional scaffolds, we direct the organization of appended pentacene motifs into long-range ordered helical frameworks. Dynamic interactions between weakly coupled SF pendants mediate singlet conversion within hundreds of picoseconds, affording triplet quantum yields well above 100%. Moreover, analysis of triplet dynamics with a Monte Carlo simulation model reveals that triplet diffusion along the supramolecular fibers is favored over annihilation, resulting in independent triplets exhibiting considerably slow decay on the time scale of tens of microseconds. The molecular packing within the assembly is tuned by subtle changes in monomer design to increase the rate and efficiency of SF while ensuring exceptionally long-lived mobile triplets, allowing to maintain triplet quantum yields exceeding 100% for at least 100 ns. This work opens new opportunities to exploit self-assembled supramolecular polymers as functional templates to achieve long-lived SF-generated triplets.
