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

Diradicals have gained interest for their unique electronic properties and potential applications in organic electronics and semiconductors. However, precise manipulation of electronic states and achieving satisfactory device performance remain challenging. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of tetraphenylethylene-bridged salts and their neutral diradical counterparts obtained via two-electron reduction. With extended conjugation and electron-withdrawing N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) backbones, enhanced open-shell character is observed. Through this systematic study, a backbone engineering strategy is established that allows precise control over spin states and diradical character in carbon-centered NHC diradicals. Leveraging this strategy, compound 2d, with moderate diradical character induced by extended conjugated structures and strong electron-withdrawing groups, was employed in a spin-coated organic field-effect transistor (OFET) device. The device achieved a record-high hole mobility of 4.53 cm
