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

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as a frontrunner in photovoltaic technologies, owing to their high performance and low-cost scalability. However, their efficiency remains substantially below the theoretical Shockley-Queisser limit (>30%), and their long-term stability is severely compromised; both are predominantly driven by interface-related issues. Compared to the top interface, buried interfaces are equally important, if not more important, effects on perovskite film quality and device performance. This review comprehensively analyzes challenges at buried interfaces, including defects, terminations, strain, carrier dynamics, and chemical reactions, with special focus on self-assembled monolayer (SAM)-based devices and textured interfaces in perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. Targeted modification strategies such as defect passivation, strain control, carrier transport modulation, and inhibition of adverse reactions are proposed to mitigate these issues. Finally, research prospects for optimizing buried interfaces are outlined, including advanced in situ characterizations, novel charge transport materials, and innovative interface engineering to enhance PSC performance and stability.
