Coherent electron transport in poly(p-phenylene).
Article in Journal of molecular modeling, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
contextConductive polymers like poly(p-phenylene) (PPP) exhibit polarons and bipolarons (radical cations/dications) in bulk. While individual π-conjugated molecules are generally conductive, the role of these charged states in single-molecule junctions, where deviations from bulk behavior are suggested, remains unclear. This study employs first-principles calculations to examine the relationship between charge state (neutral, radical cation, dication) and conductance in single oligo(p-phenylene) junctions. My results demonstrate significant conductance enhancement upon doping, yet reveal that the single-molecule charge transport mechanism deviates substantially from bulk expectations, highlighting differences between molecular and bulk electronic properties.
methodsGeometry optimizations for mercapto-terminated octa(p-phenylene) (neutral, radical cation, and dication states) used Density Functional Theory (B3LYP functional, 6-31G(d,p) basis set, RHF/ROHF methods) via Gaussian 16. Coherent electron transport calculations for molecules bridging Au(111) electrodes employed the Non-Equilibrium Green's Function (NEGF)-DFT method with QuantumATK. These transport calculations utilized norm-conserving Troullier-Martin pseudopotentials, double-zeta plus polarization (DZP) basis sets for C, H, S, single-zeta plus polarization (SZP) for Au, and the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) functional with the spin-polarized Generalized Gradient Approximation (SGGA).
