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

Ligands anchored on quantum dot surfaces with matched energy levels can significantly enhance triplet-triplet annihilation photon upconversion. In this study, we report a novel surface ligand (monosubstituted styryl-BODIPY) on near-infrared-absorbing lead sulfide quantum dots (PbS QDs) that achieves a high triplet exciton transfer efficiency of 65.4% as determined by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, with an average of only seven ligands per quantum dot. Using rubrene as the annihilator, an upconversion efficiency of up to 16.8% ± 0.6% (normalized to 100%) is observed. Our newly developed BODIPY-derived ligand exhibits enhanced stability compared to widely reported tetracene-based surface ligands. Furthermore, its higher
