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

In this study, the design and synthesis of two novel diazapentacene-based macrocycles (M3 and M4) is reported via a one-pot Yamamoto coupling reaction. These macrocycles are constructed by π-extension of a dihydrophenazine core, maintaining its excellent redox activity while offering enlarged cavities and enhanced electron-donating properties. As a result, M3 and M4 exhibit strong electron-rich characteristics and well-defined cavities, enabling their use as efficient iodine adsorbents to mitigate photo-thermal-induced iodine loss and perovskite degradation in solar cells. The macrocycles demonstrate dual-mode iodine capture: physical adsorption through cavity confinement and chemical adsorption via charge-transfer interactions, both of which show excellent reversibility. Addressing the critical issue of operational instability in perovskite solar cells (PSCs), caused by iodine escape and Pb⁰ defect formation, these macrocycles effectively trap volatile iodine species and suppress defect generation. Notably, PSCs incorporating macrocycle M4 achieve a high efficiency of 26.13% and outstanding operational stability, retaining ≈95.85% of their initial efficiency after 1000 h of maximum power point (MPP) tracking at 85  °C under the International Summit on Organic Photovoltaic Stability-Light-Soaking Test at 65/85 °C (ISOS-L-2) protocol.
