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

The development of efficient inverted perovskite solar cells has been propelled by the adoption of self-assembled monolayers as hole-selective contacts. Nevertheless, the durability of such devices is still hampered by the vulnerability of conventional carbazole molecules to ultraviolet (UV) damage and thermal instability of phosphonic acid anchors. Through spacer-group engineering in the benchmark molecule MeO-2PACz, we elucidated two distinct degradation pathways, with photodegradation occurring in non-conjugated linkages and thermal degradation in conjugated structures. These insights enabled rational design of a novel molecule MP3, which integrates both conjugated and non-conjugated spacer motifs with an electron-withdrawing substituent. This redesigned structure suppressed UV-induced N-dealkylation and thermally driven anhydride formation while enhancing substrate binding via modulated acid dissociation. MP3-based perovskite solar cells achieved a certified efficiency of 27.1% and showed exceptional stability: retaining 93.2% of their initial efficiency after 1,000 h of UV exposure, 91.1% after 100 °C thermal ageing (1,000 h) and 94.8% after 2,200 h of maximum power point tracking at 65 °C.
