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

Established relationships describe how the energetics and spacing of polarons impact electronic transport in conjugated homo-polymers, yet no model exists extending these concepts to the growing field of sequence-controlled co-polymers. This work employs oxidative molecular layer deposition (oMLD) to form thin films of sequence-controlled copolymers of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and pyrrole (Py) and identifies that molecular sequence drives a three-orders-of-magnitude change in conductivity at fixed composition. We extend Boltzmann hopping transport models for homopolymers to describe how electron energy well depth changes with EDOT and Py copolymer block lengths and separation distances. We measure a critical hopping distance of four monomer units (corresponding to ∼1.5 nm) and a critical polaron formation size of similar length. The model and conceptual insights we develop describe the electronic properties of sequence-controlled copolymers and provide an upper length-scale bound for molecular design of engineered organic nanomaterials.
