Inverted CdSe/PbSe Core/Shell Quantum Dots with Electrically Accessible Photocarriers.
Article in ACS energy letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Heterostructured quantum dots (QDs) based on narrow-bandgap PbSe and wide-bandgap CdSe have been studied for applications in near-infrared light sources, photodetection, and solar energy conversion. A common structural motif is a QD consisting of a PbSe core enclosed in a CdSe shell. However, the CdSe shell complicates extraction of band-edge charge carriers from the QD. Therefore, conventional PbSe/CdSe QDs are not suitable for application in photoelectric devices. Here we report inverted CdSe/PbSe core/shell QDs that overcome this drawback. In these structures, both the electron and hole exhibit a significant degree of shell localization and can therefore be easily extracted from the QD. To create these structures, we employ a thin, atomically controlled wetting layer that homogenizes the CdSe core surface and thus promotes directionally uniform growth of the PbSe shell. The synthesized CdSe/PbSe QD films exhibit good photocarrier transport, making them suitable for application in photoelectric devices.
