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 scintillators are pivotal for flexible and low-cost radiation detection; however, they face a long-standing "absorption-speed" trade-off: incorporating high-Z elements to enhance X-ray attenuation typically triggers strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC), which quenches prompt fluorescence and diverts excitation energy into slow, microsecond-scale triplet pathways. Here, we present a molecular decoupling strategy to overcome this dilemma, realized in a donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) hybridized local and charge-transfer (HLCT) molecule, 4,7-bis(4-(bis(4-iodophenyl)methyl)phenyl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (TPBI). By terminally tethering iodine atoms to the triphenylamine units, we achieve robust X-ray attenuation while preserving a fast "hot-exciton" emission channel. The intrinsic nonplanar geometry and strategic spatial arrangement of the molecule successfully isolate the heavy-atom effect from the emissive core, maintaining the crucial quasi-degeneracy between the T
