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

Optical excitation and control of excitonic wavepackets in organic molecules is the basis to energy conversion processes. To gain insights into such processes, it is essential to establish the relationship between the coherence timescales of excitons with the local electronic distribution in the molecules, as well as the influence of intermolecular interactions on exciton dynamics. Here, we demonstrate orbital-resolved imaging of optically induced coherent exciton dynamics in single copper naphthalocyanine (CuNc) molecules, and selective coherent excitation of dark and bright triplet excitons in coupled molecular dimers. Ultrafast photon-induced tunneling current enabled atomic-scale imaging and control of the excitons in resonantly excited molecules by employing excitonic wavepacket interferometry. Our results reveal an ultrafast exciton coherence time of ~ 70 fs in a single molecule, which decreases for the triplet excitons in interacting molecules.
