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

The investigation of dyes in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is an emerging field, since dyes may introduce a range of effects beyond conventional light harvesting. However, the large number of possible materials and processing combinations make systematic investigation challenging. This study presents a hybrid and transferable strategy combining automated workflows and supporting manual evaluation to gain insights into the effects of dyes in PSCs. Using a near-infrared (NIR) dye and a typical lead halide perovskite, an automated synthesis-characterization workflow is demonstrated to be suitable for the evaluation of the effects of a dye either as a precursor additive or as a post-treatment material using photoluminescence as the key performance parameter. In addition, the automated synthesis-device fabrication-evaluation workflow can provide guidance for identifying a suitable concentration range of dye additives in precursor solutions. Computational results at density-functional theory (DFT) level and manually performed experiments suggest that the dye MK245 interacts with the perovskite and modifies its local or interfacial electronic environment. Integration of MK245 can significantly improve the device stability both in mesoscopic triple-layer perovskite solar cells and in conventional thin-film solar cells.
