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

Interfacial defects and ion migration critically limit the efficiency and operational stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), particularly under low-light conditions where interfacial recombination dominates. Herein, a postsurface treatment using the secondary amine dibutylammonium bromide (DBABr) is introduced to induce controlled 2D/3D interfacial reconstruction through the formation of a thin quasi-two-dimensional perovskite layer on a three-dimensional absorber. This dimensionally reconstructed interface effectively passivates surface defects, suppresses ion migration, and improves energy-level alignment without hindering charge extraction while remaining compatible with both organic and inorganic hole-transport layers (HTL). Under standard one-sun illumination (AM 1.5G), DBABr-treated devices exhibit a significant enhancement in power conversion efficiency (PCE), increasing from 13.82% to 15.52% relative to the control. Furthermore, the reconstructed interface enables efficient indoor energy harvesting, delivering a PCE of 30.57% for 0.09 cm
