Strategies towards designing visible and near-infrared light driven molecular motors.
Review in Chemical Society reviews, 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
Light is one of the most powerful and versatile stimuli for controlling molecular motion, serving as a key driving force in the development of photoresponsive molecular systems. Among these architectures, artificial molecular motors represent a unique class of molecules capable of converting light energy into chirality-controlled unidirectional rotary motion. However, the majority of reported examples are operated under ultraviolet excitation, which restricts their practical applicability especially in biomolecular systems and sensitive responsive materials. To address these limitations, major recent effort has been devoted to extending photoresponsiveness of molecular motors into the visible and near-infrared (NIR) regions which enables milder and more efficient operation. This review summarizes the principal molecular design strategies that have been developed to achieve such red-shifted photoactivation of molecular motors. Moreover, we highlight the current challenges and outline future directions toward the realization of high-efficiency, multifunctional, and programmable visible/NIR-light-driven molecular motors for integration into responsive materials, catalysis, and biological systems.
