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

Efficient hole-transporting materials (HTMs) are crucial for improving the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and operational stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Nevertheless, the rational design of organic HTMs that simultaneously combine suitable energy-level alignment, visible transparency, good chemical stability, facile film formation, and efficient hole-transport characteristics remains a major challenge. In this work, first-principles calculations were employed to investigate the structural, optical, electrochemical, solubility, chemical stability, and charge-transport properties of five spirofluorenedithiolane-based derivatives (SFT1-SFT5), designed through thiophene-bridged end-capped acceptor engineering of the parent SFT-STPA molecule. The designed HTMs exhibit suitable frontier orbital alignment with the perovskite absorber, indicating favorable hole extraction and transport. Their highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO) energies range from - 5.15 to -5.26 eV, indicating improved stabilization relative to the reference molecule (-5.07 eV). Moreover, the designed derivatives retain absorption maxima below 470 nm, which helps minimize parasitic absorption and preserve effective light harvesting by the perovskite layer. Reduced reorganization energies (0.3032-0.3933 eV), higher hole-transfer integrals (0.1250-0.1690 eV), and rapid hole-transfer rates collectively indicate favorable hole-transport behavior. In addition, more favorable solvation free energies (-56.84 to -47.92 kcal mol
