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

Three-coordinate organoboranes have emerged as promising afterglow emitters by promoting intersystem crossing (ISC) through the introduction of boron centers. Among them, diboraanthracene (DBA) derivatives have recently shown great potential for achieving afterglow with second-scale durations. This study explores how the structural modulation of DBA scaffolds governs afterglow evolution. For the first time, ultralong thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) was identified from 9,10-dimesityl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-diboraanthracene (MesDBA), which exhibits a delayed lifetime of 0.72 s and represents the longest pure TADF reported to date. Building on this insight, π-conjugation was extended to yield 6,13-dimesityl-6,13-dihydro-6,13-diborapentacene (MesDBP), which unlocks a new pathway for room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) with a duration of 12 s and a lifetime of 1.41 s. An iptycene-derived DBA, mesityldiborapentiptycene (MesDBPI), was designed to modulate excited-state dynamics, affording a hybrid TADF-RTP afterglow lasting up to 40 s. Its deuterated analogue, MesDBPI-
