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

Six novel organic small molecules, TPA-Sp-PA (1), TPA-Sp-PE (1E), TPA-T-PA (2), TPA-T-PE (2E), TPA-P-PA (3) and TPA-P-PE (3E) are developed and applied to NiOx films as self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) for tin perovskite solar cells (TPSCs). The linker between acceptor (phosphonic acid (PA) or phosphonic ester (PE)) and donor (triphenylamine (TPA)) plays an important role in facilitating the growth of high-quality perovskite films using a two-step method. Three different types of linkers, phenyl ring (P), thiophene (T), and selenophene (Sp), are studied, for which the Sp-based SAMs provide the best device performance with TPA-Sp-PE (1E) achieving a PCE 8.7%, and its acidic analog, TPA-Sp-PA (1), reaching a maximum PCE of 8.3%. Single crystal structures of TPA-Sp-PE (1E) and TPA-T-PE (2E) are successfully obtained, with the expectation that a uniform SAM would form on the NiOx/ITO substrate. The research introduces a novel approach to enhance TPSC performance by integrating organic SAMs with NiOx HTMs, offering a promising avenue for future progress in TPSC technology through a two-step fabrication technique.
