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

A nanostructured sensing platform was developed by integrating gold-decorated lignin nanoparticles (AuLNPs) into electrospun polylactic acid (PLA) fibre mats. The composite material combines the high surface-to-volume ratio of PLA nanofibres with the chemical functionality of lignin-a polyphenolic biopolymer rich in hydroxyl and aromatic groups-enabling selective interactions with volatile amines through hydrogen bonding and Van der Waals forces. The embedded gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) further enhance the sensor's electrical conductivity and provide catalytic sites for improved analyte interaction. The sensor exhibited selective adsorption of amine vapours, showing particularly strong affinity for dimethylamine (DMA), with a limit of detection (LOD) of approximately 440 ppb. Relative humidity (RH) was found to significantly influence sensor performance by facilitating amine protonation, thus promoting interaction with the sensing surface. The developed sensor demonstrated excellent selectivity, sensitivity and reproducibility, highlighting its potential for real-time detection of amines in environmental monitoring, industrial safety and healthcare diagnostics.
