Optoelectronic performance of diphenylamine-helicene derivatives as hole transport materials in perovskite solar cells: a DFT/TD-DFT study.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Achieving high efficiency in perovskite solar cells depends critically on the design of small-molecule hole-transport materials (HTM), and leveraging theoretical design alongside in-depth structure-property analysis offers a cost-effective screening strategy. In this work, we employ DFT at the B3LYP/6-311G(d) and TD-DFT at CAM-B3LYP/6-311G(d) level to evaluate a series of helicene-based diphenylamine derivatives (the HEL family) as potential HTMs. Nine members with helicene-based structure, including unsubstituted structures as well as structures with substituents (F, Cl, Br, Methyl, Ketone, and Amine in the ortho position and Methyl and Amine in the meta position), show optimal HOMO/LUMO alignments for efficient hole extraction, while the others appear unsuitable. Their computed absorption peaks lie between 354.98 and 368.96 nm, making them compatible with n-i-p cell architectures. Among these, the structure that is containing amine functional group in meta position has the narrowest band gap (2.70 eV), the most red-shifted λ
