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 three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical plasmonic nano-architecture has been designed for a sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) immunosensor for protein biomarker detection. The capture antibody molecules are immobilized on a plasmonic gold triangle nanoarray pattern. On the other hand, the detection antibody molecules are linked to the gold nanostar@Raman reporter@silica sandwich nanoparticles. When protein biomarkers are present, the sandwich nanoparticles are captured over the gold triangle nanoarray, forming a confined 3D plasmonic field, leading to the enhanced electromagnetic field in intensity and in 3D space. As a result, the Raman reporter molecules are exposed to a high density of "hot spots", which amplifies the Raman signal remarkably, improving the sensitivity of the SERS immunosensor. This SERS immunosensor exhibits a wide linear range (0.1 pg/mL to 10 ng/mL) and a low limit of detection (7 fg/mL) toward human immunoglobulin G protein in the buffer solution. This biosensor has been successfully used for detection of the vascular endothelial growth factor in the human blood plasma from clinical breast cancer patient samples.
