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

Achieving high-performance polymer semiconductors is a prerequisite for the fabrication of next-generation organic electronics. However, their multi-scale structural ordering remains challenging due to uncontrollable aggregate assembly, thereby limiting the charge carrier mobility. Here we propose a self-templated gradient assembly strategy to controllably modulate multi-scale ordering and alignment of polymers, substantially improving charge carrier mobility. This strategy establishes selection criteria for solvent systems, relying on the coupling framework of solubility parameters and vapour pressures, to trigger supramolecular ordered assembly. Using a newly designed polymer (PFIDTO-BT), we optimize solution-state aggregates and achieve multi-scale structural ordering, alongside visualized tracking of solution-to-solid hierarchical assembly evolution. The precise control yields highly crystalline ordered thin films and single-crystal-like polymer crystals, showing carrier mobility as high as 11.32 and 37.1 cm
