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) have become the cornerstone of modern inverted perovskite solar cells, driving power conversion efficiency up to 27.3% and perovskite/silicon tandem devices up to 34.85%. This revolution stems from molecular engineering governing interfacial charge extraction and defect passivation. This review decodes the structure-function relationships of SAMs, moving beyond conventional applications to explore anchoring groups, conjugated linkers, and Lewis basic terminal groups. We highlight how the molecular engineering of SAMs mitigates energy-level offsets and suppresses nonradiative recombination via hard-soft acid-base interactions. Special emphasis is placed on emerging co-SAM strategies and in situ cross-linking techniques that overcome single-component limitations by creating synergistic interlayers. In the end, we outline a roadmap for rational SAM design bridging molecular insights with industrial scalability.
