Effects of Visible Light on Gas Sensors: From Inorganic Resistors to Molecular Material-Based Heterojunctions.
Review in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 the last two decades, many research works have been focused on enhancing the properties of gas sensors by utilising external triggers like temperature and light. Most interestingly, the light-activated gas sensors show promising results, particularly using visible light as an external trigger that lowers the power consumption as well as improves the stability, sensitivity and safety of the sensors. It effectively eliminates the possible damage to sensing material caused by high operating temperature or high energy light. This review summarises the effect of visible light illumination on both chemoresistors and heterostructure gas sensors based on inorganic and organic materials and provides a clear understanding of the involved phenomena. Finally, the fascinating concept of ambipolar gas sensors is presented, which utilised visible light as an external trigger for inversion in the nature of majority charge carriers in devices. This review should offer insight into the current technologies and offer a new perspective towards future development utilising visible light in light-assisted gas sensors.
