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

Revisiting our previous report of RTP in triarylboranes, we found that pure crystalline triarylboranes do not exhibit RTP as initially reported, although all but one purified compound shows RTP in annealed PMMA matrices. Inspired by the impurity responsible for the previously observed RTP, we designed a family of binary host-guest RTP systems constructed by pairing distinct triarylboranes. By tuning the host and guest structures and doping ratios, afterglow visible to the naked eye for up to 8 s can be achieved in crystalline materials under ambient conditions, at doping levels as low as one part per billion. The ultra-long afterglow makes these materials promising for information encryption, while their high sensitivity to oxygen in non-annealed PMMA films highlights their potential for sensing applications. Trends in the phosphorescence intensities and lifetimes, dependent on guest molecular structure, are rationalized by computed triplet-triplet energy transfer rates between the hosts and guests, providing a concrete design strategy for optimizing host-guest RTP. Overall, this work underscores the critical importance of material purity and advances understanding of the host-guest interactions governing efficient organic RTP.
