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 mechanistic understanding of light-driven charge separation and charge-carrier transport within the frameworks of π-conjugated molecules is imperative to mimic natural photosynthesis and derive synthetic materials for solar energy conversion. In this regard, since the late 1980s, the distance and solvent dependence of stepwise (incoherent) charge-carrier hopping versus single-step (coherent) superexchange transport (tunnelling) have been studied in detail. Here we introduce structurally highly defined cofacially stacked donor-acceptor perylene bisimide arrays, which offer a high resemblance to natural systems. Similarity is achieved through controlling energy and electron transfer processes via intermolecular interactions between the π-stacked perylene bisimide subunits. Selective excitation of the donor induces electron transfer to the acceptor unit in polar solvents, facilitated by a 'through-stack' wire-like charge hopping mechanism with a low attenuation factor β = 0.21 Å
