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

Nanoparticles in solution interact with their surroundings via hydration shells. Although the structure of these shells is used to explain nanoscopic properties, experimental structural insight is still missing. Here we show how to access the hydration shell structures around colloidal nanoparticles in scattering experiments. For this, we synthesize variably functionalized magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle dispersions. Irrespective of the capping agent, we identify three distinct interatomic distances within 2.5 Å from the particle surface which belong to dissociatively and molecularly adsorbed water molecules, based on theoretical predictions. A weaker restructured hydration shell extends up to 15 Å. Our results show that the crystal structure dictates the hydration shell structure. Surprisingly, facets of 7 and 15 nm particles behave like planar surfaces. These findings bridge the large gap between spectroscopic studies on hydrogen bond networks and theoretical advances in solvation science.
