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

Photodetectors with high photoresponsivity are crucial in a wide range of emerging fields. Here, we report the realization of photodetectors based on co-assembled composite membranes consisting of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) molecules and graphene oxide (GO) sheets, showing a photoresponsivity as high as ~ 10⁷ A/W under 3 nW illumination and a moderate external pressure (~1 atm) in the visible range. We attribute the high photoresponsivity to the pressure-induced optimization of the atomic-level heterojunctions between photoactive CuPc molecules and adjacent GO sheets in the photodetector, which enhances the electronic coupling at the heterojunction for charge transport. The photodetectors show good flexibility for electronic skin applications, enabling simultaneous contact sensing and non-contact perception under ambient illumination down to dim moonlight. The developed strategy provides a promising perspective for fabricating next-generation photoelectric conversion devices with potential applications spanning intelligent sensing, aerospace technologies, and defence-related photonic platforms.
