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 study presents a SCAPS-1D-based numerical optimization of an organic ultraviolet (UV) photodetector employing an FTO/PTB7/Spiro-OMeTAD/Au device architecture. The novelty of this work lies in a simulation-guided, UV-specific optimization strategy that combines thickness engineering, controlled doping, and contact work-function tuning to achieve intrinsic spectral selectivity without external optical filters. We systematically optimize material and device parameters, including active layer thicknesses, donor and acceptor densities, and the metal electrode work function, to enhance responsivity, detectivity, and spectral performance. Simulations identify optimal thicknesses of 1200 nm for PTB7 and 1000 nm for Spiro-OMeTAD, with donor concentrations of 1 × 10
