Bright upconversion over extended temperatures enabled by an organic surface layer.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Lanthanide-doped nanocrystals are promising for photon frequency upconversion with substantial spectrum tunability. However, the utilization of the upconversion process has been constrained by low luminescence efficiency, which may further attenuate at elevated temperatures due to thermal quenching. Herein, we report a versatile strategy to boost upconversion luminescence across a wide temperature range by surface coordination of small organic molecules. Mechanistic investigations affirm that the organic surface layer passivates defects and isolates high-energy surface oscillators, thereby preventing the dissipation of excitation energy. The energy preserving effect becomes more prominent with increasing temperatures, especially in a humid environment. Accordingly, the upconversion emission of NaGdF
