Organic polymers tuned the photocatalytic activity of inorganic semiconductors in polymer-semiconductor composites: a critical review.
Review in RSC advances, 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
Organic polymer-semiconductor composites have emerged as photocatalytic materials due to their tunable electronic structures, strong visible-light absorption, and flexible interfacial design. In contrast to pure inorganic photocatalysts (semiconductors), these hybrid systems enable the precise modulation of charge separation, light harvesting, and surface reactivity through rational polymer engineering and composite architecture. This review critically examines the main factors governing the photocatalytic activity of organic polymer-semiconductor composites arising from the presence of organic polymers based on structure-property-performance relationships. The fundamental photocatalytic mechanisms, polymer classifications, interfacial charge transfer pathways, and design of organic polymer-semiconductors are systematically discussed. Special attention is given to activity tuning through band gap engineering, morphology control, and recombination suppression. Recent advances in environmental remediation and energy conversion applications are analyzed, alongside current challenges and future research directions. This review provides a unified framework for understanding and optimizing organic polymer-semiconductor photocatalysts, providing guidance for next-generation sustainable photocatalytic systems.
