Ligand exchange on nanocrystals: fundamental mechanisms, regulation of nanocrystal properties, self-assembly, and advanced applications.
Review in Nanoscale 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
Colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) represent essential building blocks for emerging next-generation technologies. However, long-chain organic ligands introduced during synthesis are electrically insulating, which creates substantial bottlenecks for charge transport in NC-based assemblies. In this review, we systematically summarize the well-established framework for NC surface coordination chemistry (X-, L-, and Z-type ligands) and sort out the existing mechanistic understandings regarding the thermodynamic equilibria and kinetic pathways that govern ligand displacement. Based on these fundamentals, we systematically evaluate ligand-exchange strategies including single-phase and two-phase solution methods, with an emphasis on their capabilities for atomic-level surface engineering. Importantly, we discuss how ligand engineering modulates interparticle interactions (
