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

Self-assembled monolayer (SAM) materials have emerged as promising materials for interface engineering in perovskite solar cells. However, achieving an optimal balance between molecular packing density, charge transport efficiency, and defect passivation remains a challenge. In this work, we propose a SAM material design strategy that synergizes flexible head groups with rigid linking groups. Using (4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)phosphonic acid as a model molecule, Compared to traditional materials such as (4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)phenyl)phosphonic acid and (4-(diphenylamino)phenethyl)phosphonic acid, our material generates a high-quality perovskite layer. This design achieves superior energy level alignment, improved hole extraction, and enhanced charge transport efficiency, effectively reducing non-radiative recombination. (4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)phosphonic acid-based device achieve power conversion efficiency of 26.21% and 24.49% for small- (0.0715 cm
