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

Gold nanosystems have been investigated extensively for a variety of applications, from specific cancer cell targeting to tissue regeneration. Specifically, a recent and exciting focus has been the gold nanosystems' interface with neuronal biology. Researchers are investigating the ability to use these systems neuronal applications ranging from the enhancement of stem cell differentiation and therapy to stimulation or inhibition of neuronal activity. Most of these new areas of research are based on the integration of the plasmonic properties of such nanosystems into complex synthetic extracellular matrices (ECM) that can interact and affect positively the activity of neuronal cells. Therefore, the ability to integrate the plasmonic properties of these nanoparticles into multidimensional and morphological structures to support cellular proliferation and activity is potentially of great interest, particularly to address medical conditions that are currently not fully treatable. This review discusses some of the promising developments and unique capabilities offered by the integration of plasmonic nanosystems into morphologically complex ECM devices, designed to control and study the activity of neuronal cells.
