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

Stimuli-responsive single-molecule multi-emission materials have long attracted considerable attention due to their great potential in non-phase-separated smart luminescence. Here, a new strategy is demonstrated for manipulating electron transfer based on donor-acceptor decoupling to regulate energy levels, aiming to achieve excitation-dependent (Ex-De) single-molecule emission with switchable multiple fluorescence and phosphorescence. The synthesized 10-phenyl-10H,13'H-spiro[acridine 9,6'-pentacen]-13'-one (ACRSP) exhibits anti-Kasha quadruple-level emission and opposite Ex-De afterglow in different environments. The high-energy emission bands of multi-fluorescence in solution respond to excitation, whereas in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), phosphorescence-fluorescence multi-emission causes Ex-De to appear in the low-energy emission band. Experimental and computational results indicate that exciton spin ratios and emissive state compositions vary with excitation modes, leading to dual Ex-De behavior from three fluorescence and one phosphorescence emissions. Donor-acceptor decoupling separates locally excited (LE) and charge transfer (CT) states, while triplet level inversion enables Ex-De behavior and room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) coexistence (τ = 770.54 ms). By tuning the excitation mode of ACRSP, we achieve Ex-De long afterglow emission from an isolated molecule, enabling time-resolved and excitation-responsive multi-dimensional information encryption. This work offers design guidelines for purely organic Ex-De systems and paves the way for next-generation single-molecule responsive luminophores.
