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

Narrow bandgap lead-tin perovskites are essential components of next-generation all-perovskite multi-junction solar cells. However, their poor stability under operating conditions hinders successful implementation. In this work, we systematically investigate the underlying mechanisms of this instability under combined heat and light stress (ISOS L-2 conditions) by measuring changes in phase, conductivity, recombination and current-voltage characteristics. We find an increased impact of the redistribution of mobile ions during device operation to be the primary driver of performance loss during stressing, with further losses caused by a slower increase in non-radiative recombination and background hole density. Crucially, the dominant degradation mode changes with different hole transport materials, which we attribute to variations in iodine vacancy generation rates. By quantifying the impact of these mechanisms on device performance, we provide critical insights for improving the operational stability of lead-tin perovskite solar cells.
