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

Expanding the structural diversity of precursor molecules can inject greater vitality into the development of cocrystal engineering. Here, two hydrogen-bond interlocked planar molecules, HNAO and HPAO is reported, which coassemble with 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (TCB) into charge-transfer (CT) cocrystals NTC and PTC. The resulting NTC inherits two-photon adsorption properties from HNAO, with the bathochromic shift enhanced by synergistic ESIPT and CT interactions, ultimately achieving near-infrared emission. Remarkably, the intramolecular hydrogen bonds lock the molecule into a planar and ordered conformation, enabling regular face-to-face packing in NTC organic microwires and yielding the lowest optical-loss coefficient (0.021 dB/µm) of organic cocrystal to date, thereby demonstrating great potential for applications in optical computing systems. In contrast, the extremely low energy gap between the HOMO of HPAO and the LUMO of TCB in PTC drives a dramatically higher degree of CT in its excited states, predominantly facilitating non-radiative transitions and resulting in non-emissive behavior. Nevertheless, this trade-off enables efficient NIR-I photothermal conversion (η = 47.7%) and excellent photostability, making PTC highly effective for rapid photothermal imaging and breakthrough time-dependent information encryption applications. This work enriches the library of cocrystals and provides a novel strategy for tailoring the properties of cocrystal materials.
