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 Jahn-Teller distortion (JTD) is a defining structural response to electronic excitation in Cu(i)-based transition metal complexes, yet its role in photoinduced electron transfer (PET) remains largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that the JTD governs charge separation (CS) through a vibronically controlled conical intersection in heteroleptic Cu(i) bisphenanthroline-naphthalene diimide (CuHETPHEN-NDI) donor-acceptor dyads. Using 20-fs broadband transient absorption spectroscopy combined with coherent vibrational wavepacket (CVWP) analysis and quantum chemical calculations, we directly track nuclear motions that steer the system from the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (
