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

Multiple resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) emitters exhibit short-range charge transfer (SRCT) and have narrow emission, whereas donor-acceptor TADF emitters show long-range charge transfer (LRCT) and rapid reverse intersystem crossing (RISC). While some work has been done to create intermediate-type materials with narrow emission and rapid RISC simultaneously, no studies of structurally comparable donor-acceptor versus MR-TADF systems have been described. Here we report two TADF emitters, Acr-DiKTa and Iso-DiDiKTa, to examine the effect of ring fusion on LRCT and SRCT character. Acr-DiKTa appends an acridone moiety to quinolino[3,2,1-de]acridine-5,9-dione to create a donor-acceptor-type structure, while a carbonyl bridge fuses these moieties in Iso-DiDiKTa to give an MR-TADF structure. Acr-DiKTa emits blue-green in toluene with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 38 nm whereas Iso-DiDiKTa emits green-yellow with a FWHM of 34 nm. Calculated orbital distributions show SRCT in the first excited state for both compounds. Both compounds are TADF active in doped films, and derived rate constants show that RISC is four times more rapid in Acr-DiKTa. This study shows that while ring fusion enhances color purity, donor-acceptor structures can achieve comparable FWHMs and rapid RISC through dominant SRCT supported by LRCT for best performance in TADF materials.
