The Effect of Gold Nanoparticles on Electrical Impedance of Tissue on Low Frequency Ranges.
Article in Journal of biomedical physics & engineering, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
introductionElectrical impedance of tissues on low frequencies includes useful information about functional and structural changes in tissues. This property is used in Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) imaging modality for the detection of lesions in tissues.
objectiveThe goal of this article is to study changes in electrical impedance of tissues in the presence of gold nanoparticles. MATERIALS AND
methodsSpherical gold nanoparticles with size of 20-25 nm were synthesized with Turkevich method. Size distribution and shape of nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Electrical impedance of two types of phantoms (chicken fat and muscle paste tissues) was measured by 4-electrode method with and without gold nanoparticles.
resultsResults demonstrate a reduction in electrical impedance of tissues in the presence of gold nanoparticles. However, this reduction is not the same for fat and muscle tissues. Reductions in resistive impedance are 40.24Ω
conclusionAs signal enhancement is different for fat and muscle tissues; presence of gold nanoparticles could be used to improve EIT image contrast.
