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 assay is described for highly selective and sensitive determination of Hg(II) ions by using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with dithioerythritol (DETL). This method relies on the unique optical properties of DETL-functionalized AuNPs as well as the thiophilicity of both AuNPs and Hg(II). In the presence of DETL, the AuNPs aggregate due to ligand exchange between thiol groups of DETL and the citrate ions on the surface of AuNPs. This induces a color change from red to blue. On addition of Hg(II), the thiol groups preferably interact with Hg(II) rather than with AuNPs. Thus, the DETL is released from the surface of the AuNPs and binds to Hg(II). This triggers the redispersion of the AuNPs. The ratio of absorbances at 650 and 525 nm drops linearly in two Hg(II) concentration ranges (viz. from 0.1 to 0.5 μM, and from 0.5 to 5 μM). The ions Cu(II), Pb(II), and Cd(II) do not interfere even in the absence of masking agents. The detection limit is as low as 24 nM.
