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

A multifunctional light management layer for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is presented, made from anisotropic pectin cryogel infiltrated with poly(methyl methacrylate), further enhanced by the incorporation of 2,2',7,7'-tetrabromo-9,9'-spirobifluorene. The effectiveness of the composite layers is evaluated by attaching them to the front glass surface of the PSCs. As a result, the current density of the functionalized PSC increases by an average of 4.4 ± 0.3% relative to pristine PSCs. The improvement is credited to the presence of haze, downconversion, and a 50% reduction in reflectance between 400 and 800 nm compared to glass. The power conversion efficiency of composite-attached PSCs increases by 5 ± 0.2% relative to pristine PSCs. Moreover, the composite effectively mitigated UV-induced photodegradation and localized heating, extending the operational stability of PSCs, as proven by maximum power point tracking tests. The surface temperature decreases, and the T
