Hot-Injection-Free Silicon Nanocrystals Realize Record-Breaking Sustainable QD LEDs.
Review in Chemical record (New York, N.Y.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) are an emerging class of high-performing, sustainable, environmentally safe luminescent nanomaterial. They offer opportunities for next-generation displays, solid-state lighting, medical applications, and quantum technologies. Here, we highlight recent breakthroughs in colloidal SiQD synthesis and photophysics, comparing eight synthetic strategies. Among these, we focus on the hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) polymer route, a simple and cost-effective hot-injection-free method that yields highly crystalline, ultrabright, and stable SiQDs with photoluminescence quantum yields approaching 80%. We also describe how solvent engineering realizes SiQD light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with record external quantum efficiencies (EQEs, >16%), >700-fold-increased lifetimes, and far-red emissions to rival state-of-the-art perovskite QD LEDs. Moreover, rice husk-derived SiQD LEDs illustrate the potential for low-waste circular material cycles. Thus, SiQDs are a sustainable platform for plant growth technologies, photodynamic therapy, and beyond.
