Surface-Initiated Polymerizations Mediated by Novel Germanium-Based Photoinitiators.
Article in ACS applied materials & interfaces, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Since surface-initiated photopolymerization techniques have gained increasing interest within the last decades, the coupling of photoinitiators to surfaces and particles has become an important research topic in material and surface sciences. In terms of surface modification and functionalization, covalently coupled photoinitiators and subsequent photopolymerizations are employed to provide a huge variety of surface properties, such as wettability, stimulus responsive features, antifouling behavior, protein binding, friction control, drug delivery, and many more. For this purpose, numerous type I and type II photoinitiators or other photosensitive moieties have been attached to different substrates so far. In our studies, a convenient and straightforward synthetic protocol to prepare a novel germanium-based photoinitiator (bromo-tris(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)germane) in good yields was developed. The immobilization of this photoinitiator at the surface of silicon wafers and quartz plates was evidenced by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Employing visible-light-triggered surface-initiated polymerization of different functional monomers, including acrylamide, perfluorodecyl acrylate, and fluorescein-
