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

Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (PSTSCs) have broken the efficiency ceiling of single-junction solar cells, standing as a core technology for next-generation photovoltaics. Nevertheless, carrier losses at the front electrode, composed of transparent conductive films and metal grids, are often underestimated and hinder further performance improvement. Herein, we synergistically optimized the transparent electrode and front metal grid to reduce interfacial carrier loss while balancing optical shading and series resistance losses. Tungsten-doped indium oxide (IWO) with a lower work function and suitable energy alignment was adopted to replace conventional indium zinc oxide (IZO), improving carrier extraction and the device's fill factor (FF). Using our self-developed simulation tool, we quantified grid-induced power loss and systematically investigated how grid width and spacing affect photovoltaic performance. Guided by simulations, tandem cells with varied grid geometries were fabricated and tested. The optimized device delivered a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 33.06% (certified 32.28%), with an FF of 80.87%, a short-circuit current density (J
