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

Superfluorescence (SF), the coherent light burst from synchronized quantum emitters, has been demonstrated in perovskite quantum dot superlattices. However, limited control over self-assembly, heterogeneity and emitter properties has hindered systematic exploration of cooperative emission and its transition to collective emission regimes such as amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and lasing. Here, we present emulsion-templated perovskite superballs (SBs) as a robust, tunable platform for investigating collective light-matter phenomena. This strategy enables versatile control over perovskite nanocrystal (PNC) size, packing density, ligand chemistry, optical cavity structure, etc. We identify a critical packing density (∼0.34) for triggering SF in PNC ensembles, in agreement with theoretical calculations. Larger SBs function as self-assembled microcavities, supporting low-threshold lasing with high quality factors. Tunable excitation fluence induces a crossover between the SF and lasing regimes, while high-density SB films also support ASE. These findings establish perovskite SBs as a versatile platform for studying cooperative and collective emission dynamics crucial for advancing scalable quantum photonic technologies.
