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

Organic photocatalysts are an attractive platform for solar-to-chemical energy conversion, but their performance is often constrained by bulk aggregation, poor light penetration, and rapid exciton recombination. Although surfactant-assisted nanostructuring can help alleviate aggregation, surfactants are generally treated as passive stabilizers with little direct influence on photocatalytic function. Here we show that surfactants can actively engineer the interfacial microenvironment of organic nanophotocatalysts, leading to substantially enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. A donor-acceptor small molecule, CNP90, is co-assembled with either hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) or amphiphilic Tween surfactants (Tween 20, T20; Tween 80, T80) via nanoprecipitation to afford a series of tailored nanophotocatalysts. Although all surfactants improve colloidal stability, T20/CNP90 exhibits markedly enhanced photoluminescence quantum yield and charge generation, leading to a more than 16-fold increase in the hydrogen evolution rate to 520.17 mmol g
