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

Top-emitting microcavity OLEDs (TEOLEDs) exhibit excellent color purity but suffer from severe angular color shifts. To overcome this, we introduce a nanotextured light modulation strategy using a nanoporous film (NPF) and an index-matched optically clear resin (OCR) for encapsulation. The nanotextured NPF enhances light outcoupling while suppressing cavity-induced angular dependence. As a result, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) is enhanced by 370% (from 8.5 to 31.6%), and angular color shift (Δu'v') is reduced by 65.2% (from 0.046 to 0.016). By introducing a nanostructure-based light modulation technology, we have achieved a breakthrough in microcavity OLED performance, simultaneously improving both outcoupling and angular stability. Applied to flexible TEOLEDs, the device exhibits stable optical and mechanical performance under bending. This scalable and effective light modulation design enables highly efficient and color-stable flexible OLED displays for next-generation wearable applications.
