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

A novel A-D-A type small molecule (DTP-2EH-IO2Cl) incorporating dithiophenepyrrole (DTP) core with indene-dione (IO2Cl) side chain with an intermediate band gap and rigid structure is incorporated into polymer donor PM6 and one of the three A-DA'D-A small molecule acceptor-L8-BO, BTP-eC9 or Y6-for ternary-blend organic photovoltaics (OPVs). The third component DTP-2EH-IO2Cl induces not only energy transfer but also stronger molecular packing of the acceptors, resulting in a larger coherence length and enhanced absorption that enhances devices' power conversion efficiencies (PCE) and thermal stability. The PCE values of the champion ternary-blend devices PM6:L8-BO, PM6:BTP-eC9, and PM6:Y6 incorporating DTP-2EH-IO2Cl are 19.2, 18.3, and 17.6%, respectively, versus 16.5, 15.8, and 15.4% for their corresponding binary blend devices, displaying relative increases from 14 to 16%.
