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

Plasmonic supercrystals and periodically structured arrays comprise a class of materials with unique optical properties that result from the interplay of plasmon resonances, as well as near- and far-field coupling. Controlled synthesis of such hierarchical structures remains a fundamental challenge, as it demands strict control over the assembly morphology, array size, lateral spacing, and macroscale homogeneity. Current fabrication approaches involve complicated multistep procedures lacking scalability and reproducibility, which has hindered the practical application of plasmonic supercrystal arrays. Herein, these challenges are addressed by adding an organic solvent to achieve kinetic control over the template-assisted colloidal assembly of nanoparticles from aqueous dispersion. This method yields highly regular periodic arrays, with feature sizes ranging from less than 200 nm up to tens of microns. A combined experimental/computational approach reveals that the underlying mechanism is a combination of the removal of interfacial surfactant micelles from the particle interface and altered capillary flows. Assessing the efficacy of such square arrays for surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy, we find that a decrease of the lattice periodicity from 750 nm down to 400 nm boosts the signal by more than an order of magnitude, thereby enabling sensitive detection of analytes, such as the bacterial quorum sensing molecule pyocyanin, even in complex biological media.
