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

introductionAssessing the cytotoxicity of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) has gained importance due to their development in the biomedical field.

methodsIn this study, we systematically synthesized gold nanorods (GNRs), gold nanobipyramids (GNBPs), and gold nanocups (GNCs) using a seed-mediated method, with an average length of 32.53 ± 4.67 nm, 72.90 ± 7.54 nm and 118.01 ± 11.02 nm, respectively.

resultsFurthermore, using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, we assessed the cellular cytotoxicity of three different types of GNPs with various different surface coatings, such as organic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and polyethylene glycol (PEG). The results showed that the cytotoxic behavior of GNPs was shape-dependent in the concentration range of 3.125 -100 µg/mL. The types of GNPs and their surface coating had a significant impact on how the GNPs behaved in cells. Compared to PEG-coated GNPs, which do not induce cell injury, CTAB-coated GNPs show more noticeable cytotoxicity.

conclusionFurthermore, compared to GNCs, the toxicity of GNRs and GNBPs against GES-1 cells, RAW 264.7 cells and LX-2 cells was greater. Our research provides an important new understanding of the effects of surface modification on the biocompatibility and the shape of GNPs in the biomedical field.
