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

Inkjet printing (IJP) is a promising non-contact and digital technique for the precise deposition and patterning of functional materials on reduced areas, enabling versatile applications in both indoor and outdoor environments. In this work, we present processing and design guidelines for IJP the active layer of organic photovoltaics (OPVs), covering ink preparation with non-halogenated solvents, film printing, and post-treatment. The benchmark PM6:Y6 system, a well-known high-performance donor-acceptor combination that remains relatively unexplored in the IJP field, and a commercially available IJP system are selected as a case study. Trends in power conversion efficiency (PCE) were observed with respect to the studied parameters, providing insight into the morphology-performance relationship of IJP films. Maximum optimized PCEs of 3.31% under 1 sun and 4.37% under 500 lux indoor illumination were achieved for IJP active layers produced at ambient conditions. This study highlights not only the feasibility of eco-friendly, inkjet-printed OPVs, but also general process trends to guide the fabrication of efficient, miniaturized devices for the Internet of Things (IoT), wearable electronics, and other low-power electronics applications.
