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

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) possess unique properties, including low toxicity and excellent optical characteristics, making them highly appealing for biomedical applications. The plasmonic photothermal effect of AuNPs has been explored to trigger localized hyperthermia. Four commonly explored gold nanoparticles (spheres, rods, stars, and cages) are produced and optimized to present the localized surface plasmon resonance effect in the near-infrared region, exploiting the increased penetration in the human body. Additionally, the production of hybrid AuNPs, combining them with other materials, such as silica, graphene, zinc oxide, polymers, and small molecules has been explored to amplify the photothermal effect (
