Light-activated semiconductor gas sensors: pathways to improve sensitivity and reduce energy consumption.
Review in Frontiers in chemistry, 2025. 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
Resistive type gas sensors based on wide-bandgap semiconductor oxides are remaining one of the principal players in environmental air monitoring. The rapid development of technology and the desire to miniaturize electronics require the creation of devices with minimal energy consumption. A promising solution may be the use of photoactivation, which can initiate/accelerate physico-chemical processes at the solid-gas interface and realize detection of flammable and explosive gases at close to room temperature. This work examines the mechanism underlying the increased sensitivity to various gases under photoactivation. The review is intended to clarify the current situation in the field of light-activated gas sensors and set the vector for their further development in order to integrate with the latest technological projects.
