A Review on Organic Photosensitizers for Hydrogen Evolution by Water Splitting.
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
Hydrogen is increasingly recognized as a key energy vector for future low-carbon energy technologies. Solar-driven water splitting offers a direct and sustainable route to its production, with organic photosensitizers (OPS) emerging as a tunable and synthetically accessible alternative to traditional semiconductors. This review summarizes recent progress in OPS for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, encompassing diverse molecular architectures ranging from noble-metal-based complexes to noble-metal-free analogues and fully metal-free organic dyes. Particular emphasis is placed on sustainable materials design, including the use of earth-abundant elements and modular synthetic strategies. We further examine the integration of OPS into polymeric and hybrid material systemssuch as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), conjugated polymers (CPs), and polydopamine (PDA)that enhance structural stability and light-harvesting performance. Key design principles, charge transfer dynamics, and the influence of cocatalysts and sacrificial reagents are discussed. The review concludes by outlining challenges and future directions for developing efficient, stable, and scalable OPS-based platforms for solar hydrogen production.
