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

The development of organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) critically depends on the design and characterization of mixed-conducting, high-performance conjugated polymers (CPs) as channel materials, particularly for n-type OECTs. In this study, we present a novel strategy to enhance the OECT performance of a semiconducting polymer film via a postdeposition ester pyrolysis of thermally cleavable side chains, thus facilitating ion incorporation and transport within the bulk. Our approach relies on the synthesis of a high glass-transition, rigid-rod polymer, able to withstand the pyrolysis temperature without deformation and maintain the voids formed from the pyrolysis reaction which removes the thermally cleavable ester side chains. After side-chain cleavage, the resulting film exhibits increased porosity, hydrophilicity, and crystallinity. By creating bulk porosity in thin films via this approach, ion diffusion is enhanced, resulting in a superior μ
