Enabling efficient electron injection in stretchable OLED.
Article in Nature materials, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Stretchable organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are transforming human-machine interfaces and wearable technologies; still, their performance is considerably inferior to commercial, non-stretchable OLEDs, mainly limited by inefficient electron injection. We address this by redesigning both the electron transport layer and the cathode. For the former, we design a copolymer structure with high stretchability and ideal energy levels, achieving performance comparable with standard small-molecule electron transport layers. For the latter, we leverage the liquid metals embrittlement effect to confer stretchability to aluminium thin films, without compromising their electrical and optical characteristics. Combining these designs, we demonstrate fully stretchable OLEDs with a very high external quantum efficiency of 8% and a very low turn-on voltage of 3.5 V, which is on par with the reference rigid OLEDs utilizing the same emitter. This work tackles a crucial bottleneck in stretchable OLED development, bridging the performance gap between stretchable OLEDs and standard rigid OLEDs at the device level, paving the way for high-performance, skin-like displays.
