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

The durability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is substantially limited by defects and imperfect structures at grain boundaries (GBs) and grain surfaces (GSs) of perovskites, where common single-step ligand passivation struggles due to ligand heterogeneous distributions and distinct chemical environments. Herein, we demonstrate a two-step sequential dedicated-ligand (TSS-DL) strategy that selectively targets GBs and GSs through spatially resolved interactions of the dedicated ligands. We identified two classes of dedicated ligands, including Ligand X, notably 2,2-difluoroacetamide bromide (DFABr) for GBs to restructure them into stable 2D perovskites and suppress defects, and Ligand Y, featuring 4-aminopiperidinium dibromide (4APPBr
