Star-branched polymer donors enabling high-performance organic solar cells with superior flexibility and intrinsic stretchability.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Emerging wearable electronics are anticipated to leverage the flexibility and stretchability of organic solar cells (OSCs). However, achieving a balance between power conversion efficiency (PCE) and mechanical robustness remains challenging, as the molecular structural modifications required for enhanced flexibility of photovoltaic materials typically compromise charge transport and extraction. Herein, we design and synthesize three star-branched polymer donors (SPDs: S1, S2, and S3) by introducing different contents of 1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)benzene, which boost fracture strain compared to the linear PM6 (12.70%, 15.33% and 19.16% to 10.46%), improving devices' stress resistance/fatigue endurance. More importantly, these SPDs are able to self-assemble into refined fibrous architectures to retain perfect optoelectronic properties: S2:L8-BO OSCs reach 19.51% (rigid), 18.39% (flexible), 15.40% (stretchable); ternary ones hit 20.48%. This molecular engineering strategy successfully overcomes the unfavorable competition between efficiency and mechanical compliance, paving the way for the commercialization of high-performance OSCs as reliable power sources for wearable electronics.
