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

Solid additives (SAs) attract considerable research interest due to their remarkable ability to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cells (OSCs). In spite of this, current research on how chalcogen heteroatom engineering of SAs affects the properties of excited states and thereby the performance of OSCs remains relatively scarce. In this work, two simple, halogen-free and low-cost SAs, benzofuran (BFZ) and 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BTD), are innovatively selected to conduct a systematic investigation into the influences of chalcogen heteroatom engineering of SAs on the properties of excited states and the performance of OSCs. The femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) measurements demonstrate that the BTD-based films exhibit faster hole transfer (HT), longer lifetime and greater quantity of intra-moiety delocalized excited states (
