Electrical Stimulation of Neurons with Quantum Dots via Near-Infrared Light.
Article in ACS nano, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Photovoltaic biointerfaces offer wireless and battery-free bioelectronic medicine via photomodulation of neurons. Near-infrared (NIR) light enables communication with neurons inside the deep tissue and application of high photon flux within the ocular safety limit of light exposure. For that, nonsilicon biointerfaces are highly demanded for thin and flexible operation. Here, we devised a flexible quantum dot (QD)-based photovoltaic biointerface that stimulates cells within the spectral tissue transparency window by using NIR light (λ = 780 nm). Integration of an ultrathin QD layer of 25 nm into a multilayered photovoltaic architecture enables transduction of NIR light to safe capacitive ionic currents that leads to reproducible action potentials on primary hippocampal neurons with high success rates. The biointerfaces exhibit low in vitro toxicity and robust photoelectrical performance under different stability tests. Our findings show that colloidal quantum dots can be used in wireless bioelectronic medicine for brain, heart, and retina.
