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

Traditional fullerene-based acceptors in organic solar cells (OSCs) suffer from limitations such as poor tunability, narrow absorption spectra, and limited morphological stability, restricting further improvements in device efficiency. To address these challenges, non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) with tunable energy levels and broad optical absorption have gained increasing attention. In this study, seven novel phthalimide core-based donor-acceptor molecules (BPDM1-BPDM7) are computationally designed by modifying the terminal units of a reference molecule (BPDF). Using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level, photovoltaic parameters such as bandgap, frontier orbital energies, absorption maxima, light harvesting efficiency (LHE), reorganization energies (
