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

Conjugation of biomolecules on gold nanorod (GNR) surfaces is the basis for successful applications in biosensing, imaging, and drug delivery. Current functionalization methods are often problematic, involving multi-step nanoparticle modification to replace surfactant bilayer, delicate nanoparticle protection during surfactant exchange, and material loss due to inevitable aggregation. Instead of intensive surface modification of GNRs, we describe herein a facile method to functionalize gold nanorod surfaces via covalent Au-S bonds by thiolating receptors. The resulting GNR-bioconjugates showed superior dispersion and stability in buffer for months without morphology change and aggregation. ELISA tests confirmed the high biofunctionality of the thiolated anti-IgG moieties immobilized on the GNR surfaces. Furthermore, this simple method facilitated a straightforward functionalization of GNR assembly on glass substrate to construct a specific biochip, which can detect human IgG targets in a label-free fashion with high sensitivity and specificity. Compared to electropolymeric coating to functionalize the GNR, our method exhibited a five-fold enhancement in the spectral sensitivity to refractive index change caused by the target binding. This universal GNR bioconjugation method can be extended to bind different proteins and antibodies for development of biosensors or drug delivery.
