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

Electrochemical doping enables dynamic control of organic semiconductors and underpins technologies such as electrochemical transistors, energy-storage, bioelectronic, and light-emitting devices. It is typically governed by the active-material composition or the applied voltage. Here, we show that Au nanoparticles (Au-NPs) incorporated at an electrode interface provide an additional control parameter. Using light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) as a model system, we demonstrate that Au-NPs at the anodic interface reshape the electrochemically formed p-n junction, which defines the emission zone. Non-capped Au-NPs shift the emission zone away from the anode, whereas citrate-capped Au-NPs shift it toward the anode. By selecting the appropriate Au-NP type, we reposition the emission zone closer to a region of constructive optical interference, leading to a strong increase in LEC emission efficiency. These results establish interfacial Au-NPs as a strategy to modulate the spatial profile of electrochemical doping and tune the performance of organic electronic devices.
