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

Commercializing flexible perovskite solar cells (f-PSCs) is hindered by poor interfacial contact and suboptimal crystallization, particularly in large-area perovskite solar modules (PSMs). Here, we propose an in situ stepwise polymerization strategy utilizing an epoxy-terminated monomer (BFDGE) and a curing agent (isophorone diamine, IPDA). A room-temperature pre-reaction enables precise tailoring of perovskite ink, ensuring reliable fabrication of perovskite films over large-area substrates. Subsequently, thermal annealing synchronizes the polymerization with perovskite crystallization, dynamically modulating the crystallization process. Consequently, rigid and flexible devices yield outstanding efficiencies of 27.16% (certified 26.87%) and 25.13%, respectively. The resultant cross-linked scaffold ensures superior durability, with devices retaining 93.3% of their initial efficiency following 1000 h of maximum power point (MPP) tracking and 96% after 630 h ultraviolet irradiation. Furthermore, minimodules (10.24 cm
