γ Radiation Effects on Transition Metal Dichalcogenides: A Review of Defect Mechanisms and Device Implications.
Review in ACS omega, 2026. 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
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are foundational materials for next-generation electronics. For their viable use in space, nuclear, and medical applications, a comprehensive understanding of their response to high-energy ionizing radiation is critical. This review synthesizes and critically analyzes 32 experimental studies published since 2016 to build a unified framework for γ-radiation effects in TMDs. We found that the primary defect mechanism is the creation of chalcogen vacancies (CVs). The subsequent material response is decisively modulated by the irradiation environment: in ambient air, CVs are passivated, leading to oxidation, whereas in a vacuum or inert gas, pure vacancy effects dominate. This dichotomy resolves apparent contradictions in the literature regarding electronic doping; for instance, WSe
