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

Scanning tunneling microscopy-induced luminescence (STML) provides access to the optical properties of individual molecules through a cascade of relaxation processes between many-body states. Insufficient charge attachment energies prevent relaxation via optically active states, causing even intrinsically bright molecules to remain dark in STML. Here, we utilize substrate work function control and tip-induced gating of the double-barrier tunnel junction to induce an energy shift of the ionic transition state of a single free-base tetrabenzoporphyrin (H2TBP) to control access to optically active states and bright exciton emission. The experimental observations are validated by a rate equation and a polaron model considering the relaxation energy of the NaCl decoupling layer upon charging of the molecule.
