π-Electron reorganization in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons toward BT.2020-compliant narrowband red emitters.
Article in National science review, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Narrowband red emission remains a long-sought target for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) but has proven exceptionally difficult to realize using polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Herein, we introduce a general molecular design paradigm that harnesses π-electron reorganization through skeletal reconstruction in PAHs. This topological engineering localizes aromaticity into discrete segments, intrinsically suppressing vibronic coupling and yielding exceptionally narrowband emission. Using ovalene as a model system, we created a family of PAH-based fluorophores spanning yellow to deep red (559-670 nm) with exceptionally narrow full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) values of 18-24 nm. When integrated into sensitized OLEDs, these emitters deliver record-setting device performance. A representative compound produces sharp red emission at 639 nm with a FWHM of only 28 nm/0.085 eV, Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage (CIE) coordinates of [0.704, 0.294] that precisely match the BT.2020 red standard ([0.708, 0.292]), and an external quantum efficiency exceeding 24%-the highest reported value for traditional red fluorescent systems. To our knowledge, this constitutes the first demonstration of a BT.2020-compliant red emitter with FWHM below 30 nm.
