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 formation of core-shell heterostructures allows direct contact of two components for more efficient energy transfer while requires exquisite lattice match. Lattice mismatch is one of the most challenging obstacles for combining two components with different phases. In this work, we develop a strategy to overcome the limitation of lattice mismatch and grow α-phase lead halide perovskites (LHPs) onto β-phase lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (LnNPs) by seeding sub-8 nm LnNPs. This LnNP@LHP heterostructure effectively passivates the surface defects of LnNPs to obtain enhanced upconversion performance and enables two-way energy transfer within the heterostructures. We identify and prove that core size along with a high reaction temperature, instead of phase, is critical to overcome the lattice mismatch. Our strategy uncovers insights into the key factor of direct growth for heterostructures and we believe the current synthesis strategy for high-quality heterostructures will have strong application potential in optoelectronics, anticounterfeiting and light detection.
