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 challenge in developing molecule-based electronic materials lies in the uncontrollable or unpredictable nature of their crystal structures, which are crucial for determining both electrical properties and thin-film formability. This review summarizes the findings of a research project focused on the systematic development of crystalline organic semiconductors (OSCs) and organic ferroelectrics by integrating experimental, computational, and data sciences. The key outcomes are as follows: 1) Data Science: We developed a method to identify promising materials from crystal structure databases, leading to the discovery of unique molecule-based ferroelectrics. 2) Computational Science: The origin of high layered crystallinity in π-core - alkyl-chain-linked molecules was clarified based on intermolecular interaction calculations. We proposed a stepwise structure optimization method tailored for layered OSCs. 3) Material Development: We developed various alkylated layered OSCs, which exhibit high mobility, heat resistance, and solubility. We discovered several unique phenomena, including frozen liquid crystal phases, significant polar/antipolar control, and phase control through mixing, leveraging the variability of alkyl chain length. We also developed molecule-based ferroelectrics showing peculiar ferroelectricity, including multiple polarization reversal, competing ferroelectric/antiferroelectric order, and spinner-type configurations with π-skeletons. 4) Advanced Structural Analysis: By combining cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray-free electron laser (XFEL), we enabled crystal structure analysis for ultrathin crystals that are usually difficult to analyse. 5) Device Development: Utilizing the self-organized growth of layered OSCs through solution processes, we developed a method to produce exceptionally clean semiconductor - insulator interfaces, achieving field-effect transistors that show sharp (near theoretical limit) and stable switching at low voltages.
