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

Stretchable small-molecule organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are hampered by random cracking and efficiency degradation of inherently brittle small-molecule organic semiconductors (SMOS) under mechanical deformation, severely limiting their practical application. Herein, we propose an interfacial stress regulation strategy based on a hierarchical architecture. Departing from the conventional crack-suppression paradigm in stretchable optoelectronics, our strategy employs active crack engineering to guide controlled nanocrack formation, enabling the fabrication of nanocracked, fully stretchable OLEDs compatible with inherently brittle SMOS while achieving both high efficiency and excellent stretchability. The devices achieve a maximum brightness of 16,050 cd/m
