Advancements in transfer printing techniques and their applications in photonic integrated circuits.
Review in Light, science & applications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Transfer printing is a powerful and versatile integration method that is attracting increasing attention as regards both scientific research and industrial manufacturing. The transfer printing technique utilizes the viscoelastic properties of a stamp to pick devices (ink) from a donor substrate and print them onto a target substrate, exploiting the competition between several interfacial adhesion forces. The overall yield can be improved through the introduction of external stimuli such as light, heat, solution, pressure, and magnetic fields during the transfer printing operation. This review summarizes different transfer printing methods based on their working principles and discusses their detailed applications in photonic integrated circuits, taking lasers, semiconductor optical amplifiers, photodetectors, and other optical electronic elements as examples. Hence, the feasibility and viability of transfer printing are illustrated. Additionally, future challenges and opportunities for innovative development are discussed.
