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

Scalability and automation are critical for advancing organic solar cells (OSCs) toward high-throughput production, yet both remain notable challenges. Here, we report a simple yet effective strategy using Tz6T as a multifunctional additive to regulate ink-state preaggregation to address both concerns. Tz6T interacts with both donor and acceptor molecules in ink, enabling improved and more ordered preaggregation. This facilitates uniform film formation and significantly reduces bimolecular recombination, enables 16.4% efficiency large-area green solvent-processed OSC modules (19.3 cm
