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

Organic luminophores with ultra-narrow full widths at half-maximum (FWHMs) are highly demanding for high-definition displays; however, the current strategies, including bond-length homogenization and multiple-resonance effects, often suffer from limited molecular design flexibility. Herein, we present a new series of ultra-narrow organic luminophores by incorporating an antiaromatic cyclobutadiene motif into nitrogen-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Theoretical simulations show that the fused four-membered rings introduce a non-benzenoid π-electronic perturbation, which reconstructs the frontier-orbital symmetry. This reconstruction suppresses intrinsic bonding-antibonding transition character, affording an exceptionally narrow FWHM of 10.3 nm (in dilute toluene) and a near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY ≈ 100%). In addition, weak-aromaticity-mediated two-dimensional (2D) π-conjugation extension not only enhances luminescence efficiency but also affords sufficient chemical robustness compatible with vacuum evaporation process. Organic electroluminescent (EL) devices incorporating these CBD-embedded emitters exhibit high performance, with a maximum current efficiency surpassing 30.0 cd A
