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

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and resonant Raman scattering are widely used techniques to enhance the Raman intensity of molecules and nanomaterials by several orders of magnitude. In SERS, typically, molecules are investigated and their intrinsic resonance is often ignored while discussing the plasmonic enhancement. Here, we study α-sexithiophenes encapsulated in carbon nanotubes placed in the center of a nanodimer. By dielectrophoretic deposition, we place the nanotubes precisely in the center of a plasmonic gold nanodimer and observe SERS enhancement from individual tube bundles. The encapsulated molecules are not subjected to chemical enhancement because of the protective character of the nanotube. Polarization-dependent Raman measurements confirm the alignment of the molecules within the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and reveal the influence of the plasmonic near field on the molecule's Raman intensity. We investigate the encapsulated molecules in small CNT bundles with and without plasmonic enhancement and determine the molecular and plasmonic resonance by tuning the excitation wavelength. We observe a strong red shift of the maximum Raman intensity under plasmonic enhancement toward the plasmon resonance.
