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

Understanding microscopic mixed ionic-electronic conduction in organic electrochemical transistor (OECTs) is crucial to advance bioelectronic, neuromorphic, and sensing applications. In this work, electrochemical strain wave (ESW) microscopy is introduced as a novel approach to probe transport processes in the OECT channel at microscopic length scales. ESWs are generated in mixed conductors by charge injection at the electrodes and propagate into the device channel through combined charge transport and swelling. With AFM experiments, the local amplitude and phase of ESWs are mapped in OECTs under different operating conditions. Results demonstrate that quantitative ESW acquisitions can determine carrier concentration-dependent mobility effects in n-type and p-type devices, or reveal microstructural defects in the OECT channel, altering local charge transport. The findings provide a coherent framework to interpret the structure-functionality relation in OECTs, mapping transport properties below the diffraction limit and without limitations by screening effects or electrochemical side reactions of the probe.
