Article in Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Star-shaped molecules possess strong cohesive energy and welldefined molecular weights compared to polymers, making them promising additives for regulating microphase separation in bulk-heterojunction blends. Herein, we report the synthesis of an ultrahigh-molecular-weight star-shaped electron acceptor that serves as a heterogeneous nucleation agent to precisely control donor/acceptor blend morphology for high-performance organic solar cells (OSCs). The star-shaped acceptor, denoted SP12, was synthesized via an arm-first strategy and comprises 12 Y-type acceptor arms, affording a molecular weight exceeding 25 kDa-the highest reported to date for star-shaped electron acceptors. Owing to its pronounced pre-aggregation behavior in solution and three-dimensional (3D) architecture, SP12 acts as an effective heterogeneous nucleation center during film formation. This leads to bulk-heterojunction thin films with enlarged fiber diameters and enhanced crystallinity, as confirmed by multiple advanced characterization techniques. Consequently, OSCs incorporating SP12 as an additive deliver a high-power conversion efficiency of 20.50% in green-solvent-processed devices. Moreover, the high glass transition temperature and 3D topology of SP12 kinetically stabilize the optimized morphology by suppressing acceptor diffusion and re-aggregation, resulting in markedly improved morphological and operational stability. This work establishes a topology-driven molecular design and morphology-engineering strategy for achieving efficient and stable organic photovoltaic devices.
