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

We investigate the effects of the excitation power on the photoluminescence spectra of aqueous CdTe/CdS core-shell quantum dots. We have focused our efforts on nanoparticles that are drop-cast on a silicon nitride substrate and dried out. Under such conditions, the emission intensity of these nanocrystals decreases exponentially and the emission center wavelength shifts with the time under laser excitation, displaying a behavior that depends on the excitation power. In the low-power regime a blueshift occurs, which we attribute to photo-oxidation of the quantum dot core. The blueshift can be suppressed by performing the measurements in a nitrogen atmosphere. Under high-power excitation the nanoparticles thermally expand and aggregate, and a transition to a redshift regime is then observed in the photoluminescence spectra. No spectral changes are observed for nanocrystals dispersed in the solvent. Our results show a procedure that can be used to determine the optimal conditions for the use of a given set of colloidal quantum dots as light emitters for photonic crystal optical cavities.
