Tailoring Piezoelectric Nanogenerators and Microdevices for Cellular Excitation: Impact of Size and Morphology.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The use of piezoelectric devices as wireless electrical stimulators is an emerging research topic. In this study, piezoelectric microdevices, consisting of ZnO nanosheets (NSs) functioning as piezoelectric nanogenerators (NGs) grown on top of silicon microparticles, to electrically stimulate cell are designed. The morphology of the ZnO NSs is optimized by tuning the thickness of the aluminum nitride (AlN) catalyst layer and adjusting the growth duration. ZnO NSs grown on thinner AlN layers (≤ 200 nm) and subjected to 9 h of hydrothermal growth exhibit the most suitable characteristics for cell stimulation, balancing crystal size, and electric field generation. The generation of a local electric field capable of exciting osteoblast cells is inferred from finite element simulations and intracellular calcium influx measurements. The internalization rate of silicon microdevices of varying sizes (3 × 3, 6 × 10, 12 × 18 µm
