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

Regulation of electron- or hole-selective interfacial properties has traditionally relied on extrinsic chemical doping. Here we report a structurally driven strategy for modulating carrier-selective electronic characteristics through the organic-cation-induced reconfiguration of lead iodide octahedral connectivity. Two closely related imidazoline-based cations, which differ by only a single heteroatom, drive the formation of one-dimensional organic lead triiodide phases with distinct octahedral-sharing patterns. Single-crystal analysis combined with theoretical calculations reveals that the variation in connectivity reshapes orbital coupling, leading to pronounced changes in the work function and absolute band-edge positions that give rise to distinct carrier-selective interfacial behaviour without the introduction of extrinsic dopants. Leveraging this structural reconfiguration-induced electronic modulation, we realize complementary charge-selective contacts in perovskite solar cells, achieving a power conversion efficiency of 27.61% (certified steady-state 27.19%), together with excellent operational stability and scalability, including 22.26% efficiency in 655-cm
