1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have revolutionized the field of optoelectronics by offering exceptional properties such as atomically thin structures, high carrier mobility, tunable bandgaps, and strong light-matter interactions. These attributes make them ideal candidates for next-generation photodetectors operating across a broad spectral range-from ultraviolet to mid-infrared. This review comprehensively examines the recent progress in 2D material-based photodetectors, highlighting key material classes including graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), black phosphorus (BP), MXenes, chalcogenides, and carbides. We explore their photodetection mechanisms-such as photovoltaic, photoconductive, photothermoelectric, bolometric, and plasmon-enhanced effects-and discuss their impact on critical performance metrics like responsivity, detectivity, and response time. Emphasis is placed on material integration strategies, heterostructure engineering, and plasmonic enhancements that have enabled improved sensitivity and spectral tunability. The review also addresses the remaining challenges related to environmental stability, scalability, and device architecture. Finally, we outline future directions for the development of high-performance, broadband, and flexible 2D photodetectors for diverse applications in sensing, imaging, and communication technologies.
