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

Molecular pre-aggregation behavior plays a critical role in the morphology of organic films and the device performance of organic solar cells (OSCs). In the high-boiling-point solvent system, the relatively slow drying crystallization kinetics impacted the solution-state molecular pre-aggregation control, complicating the films crystallization regulation. In this work, a novel approach to regulate the pre-aggregation characteristics of the thin films was developed by constructing a droplet-merging and dissolution-induced intermediate state during inkjet printing (IJP). During this process, three key parameters, the printing temperature, droplet space, and additives, were identified to be critical for the intermediate state formation. This method created an intermediate aggregation state that finally enhanced the crystallization and molecular orientations in films printed from ortho-dichlorobenzene, overcoming the slow kinetics challenge. Consequently, IJP OSCs achieved a record power conversion efficiency of 17.57% through this droplet-merging and dissolution-induced intermediate strategy.
