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

Achieving high-efficiency perovskite solar cells (PSCs) under ambient conditions remains a critical bottleneck for commercialization, primarily owing to the strong susceptibility of perovskite precursors and film formation processes to moisture and oxygen. Here, we develop a robust air-processing strategy for inverted PSCs by incorporating 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoroacetate (BMIT) into precursor solutions, resulting in enhanced environmental tolerance of perovskite precursors by inhibiting iodide oxidation and facilitating stable film formation across a wide humidity range (20-60%). Moreover, the balanced ionic coordination suppresses Pb-I aggregation, mitigates colloidal clustering, and modulates nucleation kinetics, resulting in dense, highly crystalline perovskite films with excellent reproducibility. Consequently, we demonstrate high-efficiency devices across varied bandgaps (1.51, 1.54, and 1.68 eV), including a certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 26.48% with a fill factor of up to 85.00% for the 1.54-eV cell. Our device retains 96% of its initial PCE after 1,400 h of continuous 1-sun operation in ambient air.
