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

Sulfobetaines (SBs) are a class of zwitterionic surfactants with a reputation for enhancing colloidal stability at high salt concentrations. Here, we present a systematic study on the self-assembly of SB amphiphiles (sultaines or hydroxysultaines) in aqueous solutions, as a function of chain length and composition, ionic strength, and in the presence of alkanethiol-coated Au nanoparticles (GNPs). The diameters of the micelles assembled from SB and amidosulfobetaine (ASB) generally increase monotonically with chain length, although ASB micelles are smaller relative to alkyl SB micelles with similarly sized tailgroups, and oleyl sulfobetaine (OSB) micelles are slightly larger. SB amphiphiles can stabilize alkanethiol-coated GNPs in physiologically relevant buffers at concentrations well below their CMC, with size increases corresponding to single-particle encapsulation. SB-encapsulated GNPs were prepared by three different methods with SB:GNP weight ratios of 10:1, followed by dispersion in water or 1 M NaCl. The low hydrodynamic size of the SB micelles and SB-coated NPs is within the range needed for efficient renal clearance.
