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 attainment of white emission from a light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC) is important, since it enables illumination and facile color conversion from devices that can be cost-efficient and sustainable. However, a drawback with current white LECs is that they either employ non-sustainable metals as an emitter constituent or are intrinsically efficiency limited by that the emitter only converts singlet excitons to photons. Organic compounds that emit by thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) can address these issues since they can harvest all excitons for light emission while being metal free. Here, we report on the first white LEC based on solely metal-free TADF emitters, as accomplished through careful tuning of the energy-transfer processes and the electrochemically formed doping structure in the single-layer active material. The designed TADF-LEC emits angle-invariant white light (color rendering index = 88) with an external quantum efficiency of 2.1 % at a luminance of 350 cd/m
