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

The development of high-performance organic ferromagnetic semiconductors has been hampered by the intrinsic coupling of radical formation and structural organization during synthesis, which makes it difficult to achieve long-range magnetic coupling in highly conjugated systems. Here, we report an effective topochemical reduction strategy that decouples radical formation from structural organization, enabling unprecedented control over intermolecular arrangements in organic ferromagnetic materials. Using perylene diimide as a model system, this approach preserves the highly ordered structure of thermally evaporated precursor films during reduction, resulting in a shortened π-π stacking distance of 3.26 Å and exceptional long-range molecular order. The resulting films exhibit remarkable room-temperature ferromagnetism, as evidenced by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, with a saturation magnetization of 10.5 emu g⁻
