Effects of surface properties of GaN semiconductors on cell behavior.
Review in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In recent years, semiconductors have aroused great interest in connecting, observing and influencing the behavior of biological elements, and it is possible to use semiconductor-cell compound interfaces to discover new signal transduction in the biological field. Among them, III-V nitride semiconductors, represented by gallium nitride (GaN), are used as substrates to form semiconductor-biology interfaces with cells, providing a platform for studying the effects of semiconductors on cell behavior. The interfaces between GaN substrate and cells play an important role in detecting and manipulating cell behaviors and provide a new opportunity for studying cell behavior and developing diagnostic systems. Hence, it is necessary to understand how the properties of the GaN substrate directly influence the behavior of biological tissues, and to create editable biological interfaces according to the needs. This paper reviews the synergism between GaN semiconductors and biological cells. The electrical properties, persistent photoconductivity (PPC), nanostructures, and chemical functionalization of GaN on the promotion of cell behaviors, such as growth, adhesion, differentiation, and signal transduction, are emphatically introduced. The purpose of this study is to provide guidance to explore the detection and regulation methods of cell behavior based on semiconductors and promote the application of them in the field of bioelectronics, such as biochips, biosensors, and implantable systems.
