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

Hybrid light-matter molecular exciton-polariton states have been proposed as a strategy to directly modify the efficiency and rate of photoinduced molecular charge transfer reactions. However, the efficacy of polariton-driven photochemistry remains an open question owing to the experimental challenges to tease out this effect. Here we demonstrate conditions under which photoinduced polaritonic charge transfer can be achieved and visualized using momentum-resolved ultrafast spectroscopy. Key conditions for charge transfer are satisfied using Bloch surface wave polaritons, which exhibit favourable dispersion characteristics that permit the selective pumping of hybrid states with long lifetimes (100-400 fs) that permit vibrationally assisted charge transfer between a donor and an acceptor molecule dispersed in a polymer matrix. Using this approach, we tune the energetic driving force for charge separation, reducing it by as much as 0.5 eV compared with the bare exciton pumping with an internal quantum efficiency of 0.77. These results corroborate the notion that tunable and efficient polariton-driven molecular charge transfer is indeed possible using carefully constructed photonic systems.
