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

Surface wettability, measured via water contact angle (WCA) measurements, is an essential parameter in evaluating the characteristics of sensor surfaces in plasmonic biosensing, particularly in Kretschmann-based surface plasmon resonance (K-SPR). This study investigates plasma polymerized heptylamine (ppHA) coatings for enhancing Au K-SPR biosensors. The WCA results, ranging from 58° to 82°, confirm that a hydrophilic surface promotes biomolecule immobilization. The red shift of the SPR curve at 785 nm wavelength yields a refractive index sensitivity of 60°/RIU, with a good correlation coefficient (R² = 0.7584) between plasma power and WCA. The findings demonstrate that Au-ppHA coatings successfully optimize wettability and sensitivity, thereby improving SPR biosensor performance. Furthermore, the developed biosensor was successfully functionalized for creatinine detection, a key biomarker for kidney waste. The sensor demonstrated a high sensitivity of 1.1918 °/mM, confirming that ppHA coatings are an effective platform for developing high-performance K-SPR biosensors for medical diagnostics.
