Plasma Functionalization Enables Diffusion Control of Reactive Oxygen Species.
Article in Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany), 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
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are promising green candidates for tackling challenges ranging from antimicrobial resistance to water decontamination. Metal oxide nanomaterials structured as thin films, deposited at room temperature (RT) using plasma technology, can deliver ROS to the environment by catalyzing oxygen and water following a chemodynamics approach. This study proposes thin film plasma polymerization as a strategy to precisely control ROS delivery, unravel ROS formation mechanism at the catalytic interface, and ensure ROS-driven chemistry. A proper combination of semiconductors, specifically silver oxide and titanium oxide, is used as a model system for ROS production. This specific coupling of semiconductors produces ROS in the dark due to charge separation without ion leaching. Plasma surface functionalization with nanoporous SiOx-like films in the 1-100 nm range allows selective control of the delivery of radicals with different characteristic lifetimes such as superoxide anion and singlet oxygen based on the thickness of the functional layer. As proof of promising applications, results regarding radicals' detection are correlated with the antimicrobial activity of the ROS-releasing system. Thin film plasma surface functionalization allows control of ROS delivery, ensuring that the material efficacy is due to ROS and not by other direct redox chemistry or leaching processes.
