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

Plasmons, collective oscillations of conduction-band electrons in nanoscale metals, are well-known phenomena in colloidal gold and silver nanocrystals that produce brilliant visible colors in these materials that depend on the nanocrystal size and shape. Under illumination at or near the plasmon bands, gold and silver nanocrystals exhibit properties that enable fascinating biological applications: (i) the nanocrystals elastically scatter light, providing a straightforward way to image them in complex aqueous environments; (ii) the nanocrystals produce local electric fields that enable various surface-enhanced spectroscopies for sensing, molecular diagnostics, and boosting of bound fluorophore performance; (iii) the nanocrystals produce heat, which can lead to chemical transformations at or near the nanocrystal surface and can photothermally destroy nearby cells. While all the above-mentioned applications have already been well-demonstrated in the literature, this Account focuses on several other aspects of these nanomaterials, in particular gold nanorods that are approximately the size of viruses (diameters of ∼10 nm, lengths up to 100 nm). Absolute extinction, scattering, and absorption properties are compared for gold nanorods of various absolute dimensions, and references for how to synthesize gold nanorods with four different absolute dimensions are provided. Surface chemistry strategies for coating nanocrystals with smooth or rough shells are detailed; specific examples include mesoporous silica and metal-organic framework shells for porous (rough) coatings and polyelectrolyte layer-by-layer wrapping for "smooth" shells. For self-assembled-monolayer molecular coating ligands, the smoothest shells of all, a wide range of ligand densities have been reported from many experiments, yielding values from less than 1 to nearly 10 molecules/nm
