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

Charged point defects cause efficiency loss and instability in perovskite solar cells. Although Lewis acids and Lewis bases individually passivate anionic and cationic defects, they are known to react with one another. As a result, introducing different combinations to solar cells forms quenching adducts that fail to provide the necessary passivation. Here we report chemically orthogonal Lewis acid and Lewis base families that enable concurrent passivation of targeted ionic defects by weakening mutual interactions. We found that bulky sp
