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

Starting from well-studied coumarin laser dyes, a novel donor-π-acceptor emitter is designed, synthesized, and investigated using quantum chemistry and spectroscopic approaches. Altering the donor unit from a freely rotating diethylamine (Coumarin 6) or 'rigidly planar' julolidine (Coumarin 545) to a highly twisted phenoxazine in the newly reported material red-shifts the emission and enables thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) at the cost of a reduction in photoluminescence quantum yield. Separately, unexpected room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) is observed for Coumarin 6 in film, and both coumarins show triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) delayed emission in solution. These delayed emission properties are explained by the contrasting structural properties of the different donor moieties and especially the availability of a twisted intramolecular charge-transfer state for Coumarin 6. Ultimately the rotational freedom of the donor enables emission mechanisms that have been previously overlooked for these primarily fluorescent laser dyes, as well as TADF for the new emitter.
