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

Deciphering the mechanisms governing photoinduced phase segregation in mixed halide perovskites is essential to unlock their full potential in stable, high-performance optoelectronic applications. We uncover the mechanism by which residual local strain acts as a key driving force of light-induced phase segregation. By combining in situ transmission electron microscopy with photoluminescence spectroscopy, we observe structural evolution and photocarrier behavior during phase segregation and after re-mixing. Although halide segregation is compositionally reversible, the perovskite lattice retains residual local strain, a "memory" of previously segregated halide domains, which evolves spatiotemporally with each phase segregation cycle. Residual local strain subsequently serves as a driver for successive phase segregation by trapping photocarriers and acts as the nucleation sites for iodide-rich domains. Our findings identify local strain as an intrinsic, evolving driving force of phase segregation, which offers a paradigm for improving the long-term stability of halide perovskites through strain management and compositional engineering.
