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

This paper reports the first use of an amide-based hole transport material in a solid-state dye-sensitised solar cell. A substantial improvement in solar cell efficiency from 0.04 to 2.26% was achieved through prolonged oxidation in air and light soaking for the amide-based hole-transporting mediator, TPABT. Time-resolved spectroscopic studies show that the oxidation state and additive concentration alter the charge-transfer and regeneration kinetics, which are consistent with the time-dependent changes in device properties. Our study shows that, if the oxidation state and doping are carefully controlled, TPABT-based hole transport materials could serve as a viable, cost-effective alternative to Spiro-OMeTAD, the conventional yet expensive hole-transporting material widely used in emerging photovoltaics.
