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

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have rapidly gained prominence as a leading candidate in the realm of solution-processable third-generation photovoltaic (PV) technologies. In the high-efficiency inverted PSCs, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are often used as hole-selective layers (HSLs) due to the advantages of high transmittance, energy level matching, low non-radiative recombination loss, and tunable surface properties. However, SAMs have been recognized to suffer from some shortcomings, such as incomplete coverage, weak bonding with substrate or perovskite, instability, and so on. The combination of different SAMs or so-called co-SAM is an effective strategy to overcome this challenge. In this Perspective, the latest achievements in molecule design, deposition method, working principle, and application of the co-SAM are discussed. This comprehensive overview of milestones in this rapidly advancing research field, coupled with an in-depth analysis of the improved interface properties using the co-SAM approach, aims to offer valuable insights into the key design principles. Furthermore, the lessons learned will guide the future development of SAM-based HSLs in perovskite-based optoelectronic devices.
