Living Photoanodes for Solar-Driven Water Oxidation.
Review in Chemical reviews, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Photosynthetic microorganisms are abundant, self-sustaining catalysts that convert solar energy into high energy electrons. By interfacing these living catalysts with electrodes, these electrons can be harnessed for electricity generation or chemical production in sustainable solar-powered technologies. The development of these so-called living photoanodes is an emerging and highly interdisciplinary field that has progressed substantially in recent years. In this review, we chart these advancements, beginning with our current understanding of the fundamental biology underpinning the key photocatalytic and electron transport processes of oxygenic photosynthetic microorganisms─namely cyanobacteria. We then describe theoretical approaches to estimating the maximum obtainable photocurrent outputs of living photoanodes to gauge their technological potential. Next, we discuss the main strategies employed to attain these values which include genetic engineering, electrode and diffusional/polymeric mediator design. Finally, in the outlook section, we recommend standardized reporting methods to formalize the field and propose future research directions to realize the full potential of this nascent technology.
