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

Fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) still face major obstacles to combining high efficiency with solution processability and energy-sustainable operation. In this work, a tetra-carboxyphenyl porphyrin–nitrogen carbon dots (TCPP-NCDots) derivative is introduced as a solution-processable electron transport layer (ETL) in OLEDs based on a green–yellow emissive polymer. The structural, optical, and electronic properties of the TCPP-NCDots ETL are comprehensively characterised by ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy, steady-state photoluminescence, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. These studies reveal a synergistic effect of porphyrin functionalisation on the carbon dots, which improves electron injection and transport toward the emissive layer. At an optimum concentration of 1 mg mL−1, the TCPP-NCDots ETL yields a 21.6% enhancement in external quantum efficiency compared with the reference device without an ETL, while simultaneously suppressing efficiency roll-off. The optimised devices also maintain stable operation under ambient conditions, highlighting TCPP-NCDots as a promising, sustainable ETL platform for next-generation fluorescent OLEDs.
