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

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with inverted structures have garnered considerable attention in photovoltaic research due to their high scalability and efficiency. However, challenges at the interface between the electron transport layer (ETL) and cathode, including energy level mismatch, halide ion migration, and metal degradation, limit performance and stability. In this study, we introduce a quinoxaline-based high-dipole material (MQPPO) as a novel cathode interlayer (CIL) for p-i-n structures. MQPPO improves energy level alignment, charge extraction, and interfacial stability through its strong dipole moment and hydrophobic properties. The superior performance of MQPPO-incorporated devices was reflected in their power conversion efficiency (PCE), achieving 21.65% under 1 sun illumination. Additionally, MQPPO-based PSCs demonstrated exceptional long-term stability, maintaining over 80% of their initial efficiency after 1440 h. These results demonstrate that MQPPO is an effective CIL material for high-performance and stable PSCs, advancing their potential for sustainable energy technologies.
