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

Water-soluble gold nanoparticles with an average diameter of 5 nm were prepared with carboxylic acid terminated thiol ligands. These ligands contain zero to eight methylene moieties. CdTe nanocrystals with an average diameter of 5 nm were synthesized with aminoethanethiol capping. These nanocrystals displayed characteristic absorption and emission spectra of quantum dots. The amine terminated CdTe nanocrystals and carboxylic-acid-terminated gold nanoparticles were conjugated in aqueous solution at pH 5.0 by electrostatic interaction, and the conjugation was monitored with fluorescence spectroscopy. The CdTe nanocrystals were significantly quenched upon binding with gold nanoparticles. The quenching efficiency was affected by both the concentration of gold nanoparticles in the complex and the length of spacer between the CdTe nanocrystal and Au nanoparticle. The observed quenching was explained using Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism, and the Förster distance was estimated to be 3.8 nm between the donor-acceptor pair.
