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

Atomic layer-deposited tin oxide serves as an effective buffer layer in perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells due to its efficient charge extraction and sputtering tolerance. Nevertheless, its unavoidable chemical erosion effect of atomic layer-deposited tin oxide on perovskite requires thicker fullerene charge transport layers, leading to increased parasitic optical absorption. Herein, we firstly integrated thermal evaporated antimony oxide into solar cells to effectively replace atomic layer-deposited tin oxide, enabling a thinner fullerene to minimize optical losses and prevent damage to the perovskite. The unique amorphous-nanocrystalline structure of, antimony oxide facilitates ultrafast carrier transport via its embedded nanocrystalline network. The antimony oxide-based tandem solar cells demonstrated a significant improvement in power conversion efficiency compared to tin oxide-based devices, primarily due to an enhanced short-circuit current density of approximately 1 mA/cm² in the perovskite top cell. Remarkably, even at 64.64 cm
