Novel microwave-assisted solvothermal synthesis of NaYF4:Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticles and their application in cancer cell imaging.
Article in Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
This work reports the novel microwave-assisted solvothermal synthesis and structural, topographic, spectroscopic characterization of NaYF(4):Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as well as their application in the labeling of HeLa cells. The nanoparticles were prepared in ethylene glycol, with rare earth acetates as precursor and NH(4)F and NaCl as the fluorine and sodium sources. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and luminescence spectroscopy were applied to characterize the nanoparticles. Experimental results showed that the microwave-assisted solvothermal method is an effective approach to create highly crystalline, strongly luminescent UCNPs at a lower temperature (160 °C) and within a significantly shortened reaction time (only 1 h) compared to the traditional methods. The effect of fluorine source on the optical properties of UCNPs was investigated by using NH(4)F, NH(4)HF(2), NaF, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BmimBF(4)) as different fluorine sources; NH(4)F proved to be the best one, making the luminescent intensity increase at least 2 orders of magnitude. The UCNPs with four different colors (green, yellow, orange, and cyan) were successfully obtained. After being modified with amino groups and coupled with CEA-8 antibody, the obtained nanoparticles were successfully applied in the specific fluorescent immunolabeling and imaging of HeLa cells to further verify their function as a marker in immunolabeling.
