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

Gold nanoshell's high light scattering and absorption at its resonance wavelength have found applications in biomedical imaging and photothermal therapy. However, at nanoscale, metallic material's dielectric function is affected by nanoparticle's size, mainly via a mechanism called surface scattering of conduction electrons. In this work, the effect of surface scattering of electrons on the ratios of optical absorption and scattering to extinction (which is the sum of the absorption and scattering) of gold nanoshell is investigated. Simulation results for several shell thicknesses are compared. It is found that the electrons' surface scattering increases the optical absorption ratio, and the thinner the shell thickness, the larger the increase in the difference of the absorption ratio between the situations with and without the surface scattering considered. The increase of absorption ratio is then verified by comparing simulation results to experimental measurements for three nanoshells. The parameters of the simulations to fit the experimental measurements show that the damping of conduction electrons in metallic shell geometry is larger than that predicted by the billiard scattering model.
