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 colorimetric and visual method is described for the determination of mercury(II) ion. A gel consisting of agar-stabilized silver-coated gold nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs) was prepared. The reaction with dithiothreitol (DTT) via thiol-Ag chemistry results in an orange to purple color change of the gel. However, in the presence of Hg(II), the reaction of DTT with the silver shells is suppressed due to the strong thiophilicity of Hg(II). The color of the gel changes from purple to red to orange in the presence of increasing concentrations of Hg(II). The Au@Ag NPs therefore are a viable optical probe for Hg(II) which can be detected in concentration as low as 78 nM via dual-wavelength ratiometric absorbance (A
