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

Insufficient surface coverage persists as a critical limitation for self-assembled monolayers/multilayers (SAMs/SAMULs) in photovoltaic field. The co-assembled SAMULs (Co-SAMULs) strategy, which incorporates a guest self-assembled molecule, offers an effective solution. However, the working mechanism of the guest molecule is still not fully understood. Herein, benzo[b]thien-2-ylboronic acid (BBA) was introduced as a guest material into the host molecule system based on (4-(3,6-di(thiophen-3-yl)-9H-carbazol-9-yl)butyl) phosphonate (4PAThCz) to construct efficient Co-SAMULs. We found that BBA can fused into 4PAThCz micelles rather than forming individual micelles, respectively, thereby inhibiting micelle growth. During the film-forming process, BBA engages in synergistic adsorption with the host molecules, selectively fills the voids between host molecule and substantially improving surface coverage. Such a homogeneous and high-quality film effectively suppresses surface defect states, enhances interfacial charge transport capacity and minimizes non-radiative exciton recombination. As a result, a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 21.26% (certificated as 20.79%) with an outstanding fill factor (FF) of 83.54% is achieved, representing the highest performances reported for organic solar cells (OSCs) to date.
