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

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) devices are promising alternatives to organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and light-emitting capacitors (LECs) due to their simple structure and lower operating voltage, yet realizing sufficient luminance for practical applications remains challenging. Here, we report a synergistic material-device strategy for ultrabright electrochemiluminescent (UBECL) devices. Decoupling anion and cation effects reveals ion-dependent control of interfacial charge-transfer dynamics and electrochemical stability in annihilation-ECL. An effective electrolyte with favorable photophysical and electrochemical properties, coupled with an asymmetric device architecture, enhances electrochemical reactivity and maximizes ECL brightness. UBECL device turns on at a low alternating voltage (±1.65 V) and operates under high-frequency driving. It achieves a maximum luminance of 1552 cd m
