Photo-controlled vacancies and conductivity within single crystals of silver chalcogenolate cluster-based MOFs.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Structural vacancies in crystalline solids have great potential in tuning optoelectronic properties for specific applications. However, the random distribution of vacancies is still an intractable problem when creating materials with completely reproducible functions. Here, we report that the growth of crystals from solution approaching perfect single crystallization of assembled silver clusters (SC-1, where SC denotes single crystal), featuring a two-dimensional (2D)-three-dimensional (3D) interpenetrating conformation. By controlling the ultraviolet (UV) irradiation time, SC-1 transformed into SC-2-0.8 and then into SC-2-0.5, where partial trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and the linker molecules (1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene, termed TCNB) possessed a 0.8 or 0.5 occupancy in the crystallography, forming ordered vacancies at specific sites. This course led to a deepened color, a diminished photoluminescence, a narrowed energy gap, and an average 50-fold increase in the single-crystal electron conductivity, together with a 3D-3D interpenetrating conformation. Over time, under the original conditions, SC-1 regrew into SC-3, which had a 3D noninterpenetrating conformation with no crystallographic vacancies and a conductivity similar to that of SC-1. This work elucidates the correlation between the tunable vacancy number and electrical conductivity at the atomic level, providing a method for facilitating electronic communication between cluster-building units and creating ordered-vacancy conducting materials.
