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

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are pivotal for boosting the performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Yet, the intricate link between molecular structure and device efficiency hinders rational SAM design. Here, we introduce a data-driven strategy that leverages a curated dataset of reported SAMs and their PSC efficiencies, with molecular structures encoded into three distinct segments: anchor group-linker-head group. Based on this fragment-encoding framework, our strategy focuses on the recombination of fragment units, rather than unconstrained de novo molecular design. Using ensemble learning and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) interpretability within a cross-validated framework, we pinpointed the head group as the dominant performance driver. This insight guided the construction of an expanded molecular library by recombining high-value fragments identified from the curated database. Virtual screening of this library then yielded a synthetically accessible SAM molecule with top-predicted efficiency, namely S1. Experimental validation revealed that S1 forms a compact, ordered monolayer on NiO
