1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Nanoparticles are produced at accelerating rates, are increasingly integrated into scientific and industrial applications, and are widely discharged into the environment. Analytical techniques are required to characterize parameters such as particle number concentrations, mass and size distributions, molecular and elemental compositions, and particle stability. This is not only relevant to investigate their utility for various industrial or medical applications and for controlling the manufacturing processes but also to assess toxicity and environmental fate. Different analytical strategies aim to characterize certain facets of particles but are difficult to combine to retrieve relevant parameters coherently and to provide a more comprehensive picture. In this work, we demonstrate the first online hyphenation of optofluidic force induction (OF2i) with Raman spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (ICP-TOFMS) to harness their complementary technology-specific advantages and to promote comprehensive particle characterizations. We optically trapped individual particles on a weakly focused vortex laser beam by aligning a microfluidic flow antiparallelly to the laser propagation direction. The position of particles in this optical trap depended on the hydrodynamic diameter and therefore enabled size calibration as well as matrix elimination. Additionally, laser light scattered on particles was analyzed in a single particle (SP) Raman spectroscopy setup for the identification of particulate species and phases. Finally, particles were characterized regarding elemental composition and their distributions in mass and size using SP ICP-TOFMS. In a proof of concept, we analyzed polystyrene-based microplastic and TiO
