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

Tunable-aspect ratio gold nanorods have been synthesized by a modified seed-mediated synthesis method. Ascorbic acid was employed as a shape controller to induce anisotropic growth, which made the aspect ratio of the synthesized gold nanorods range from 8.5 to 15.6. These nanorods possess tunable longitudinal surface plasmon resonance absorption band, covering a broad near-infrared (NIR) range, from ~ 680 to 1100 nm. When modified with thiol-polyethylene glycol (SH-PEG), the synthesized Au nanorods showed excellent biocompatibility and stability, which foreshadowed the great potential of their NIR application as photoacoustic contrast agent. Due to their adjustable absorbance in the NIR, the synthesized Au nanorods could offer stronger contrast (3.1 times to the control group without contrast agent used) and higher signal-noise ratio values (SNR; 5.6 times to the control group) in photoacoustic imaging, both in vitro and in vivo experiments. Our work presented here not only added some novel Au-based photoacoustic contrast agents but also described a possibility of contrast agent preparation covering the whole biological NIR window.
