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

Organic solar cells (OSCs) based on nonfullerene acceptors have seen tremendous progress recently, which qualifies them as a serious next-generation photovoltaic technology. However, their long-term stability is still a key issue that needs to be addressed on the way to commercialization. For relevant long-term stability, gas diffusion barriers are needed to protect the OSCs against ambient gases such as oxygen and moisture. Here, we explore gas diffusion barriers grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and demonstrate that aluminum oxide barriers grown at 80 °C afford OSCs that can be operated in the maximum power point in ambient air for more than 1000 h without notable degradation. At the same time, we show that under damp heat conditions, i.e., elevated temperature and humidity, better barriers are needed, that require growth temperatures of >80 °C, which are not tolerated by our standard
