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 chemical printing method based on gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-assisted laser ablation has been developed. By rastering a thin layer of AuNPs coated on a rat kidney tissue section with a UV laser, biomolecules are extracted and immediately transferred/printed onto a supporting glass substrate. The integrity of the printed sample is preserved, as revealed by imaging mass spectrometric analysis. By studying the mechanism of the extraction/printing process, transiently molten AuNPs were found to be involved in the process, as supported by the color and morphological changes of the AuNP thin film. The success of this molecular printing method was based on the efficient laser-nanomaterial interaction, that is, the strong photoabsorption, laser-induced heating, and phase-transition properties of the AuNPs. It is anticipated that the molecular printing method can be applied to perform site-specific printing, which extracts and transfers biochemicals from different regions of biological tissue sections to different types of supporting materials for subsequent biochemical analysis with the preservation of the original tissue samples.
