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

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) shows promise for identifying single bacteria, but the short range nature of the effect makes it most sensitive to the cell membrane, which provides limited information for species-level identification. Here, we show that a substrate based on black silicon can be used to impale bacteria on nanoscale SERS-active spikes, thereby producing spectra that convey information about the internal composition of the bacterial capsule. This approach holds great potential for the development of microfluidic devices for the removal and identification of single bacteria in important clinical diagnostics and environmental monitoring applications.
