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

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides and organic semiconductors have emerged as promising material platforms for optoelectronic devices. Combining the two is predicted to yield emergent properties while retaining the advantages of each. In organic semiconductors, the optoelectronic response is typically dominated by localized Frenkel-type excitons, whereas transition metal dichalcogenides host delocalized Wannier-type excitons. However, much less is known about the characteristics of excitons at hybrid interfaces between these materials, which determine the possible energy- and charge-transfer pathways. Here we identify a hybrid exciton at one such interface using ultrafast momentum microscopy and many-body perturbation theory. We show that this hybrid exciton, formed predominantly via resonant Förster energy transfer, has both Frenkel- and Wannier-type contributions: intralayer electron-hole transitions within the organic semiconductor layer and interlayer transitions across the interface give rise to an exciton wavefunction with mixed character. This work advances our understanding of charge and energy transfer processes across 2D-organic heterostructures.
