Aloof Electron Probing of In-Plane Surface Photovoltaic Charge Distributions on GaAs Surfaces.
Article in ACS photonics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 motion of free electrons moving parallel and above a semiconductor surface can be influenced by shining a laser light onto the surface. Here we report strong deflection of aloof electrons by an undoped GaAs surface illuminated with a 633 nm laser. The deflecting electric field from the surface photovoltaic charges extends 100 μm into the vacuum. As surface photovoltage (SPV) is sensitive to the electronic states of the GaAs surface, the aloof electron beam serves as a probe for SPV charge dynamics on the mesoscopic length scale. The observed in-plane SPV charge distribution persists beyond 1 second after the laser beam is blocked. Our work suggests the possibility of writing designed 2D charge patterns on semiconductor surfaces with a scanning laser beam, providing unusual flexibility for electron beam manipulation.
