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

Plasmon resonances have appeared as a promising method to boost the fluorescence intensity of single emitters. However, because research has focused on the enhancement at low excitation intensity, little is known about plasmon-fluorophore coupling near the point where the dye saturates. Here we study plasmon-enhanced fluorescence at a broad range of excitation intensities up to saturation. We adopt a novel DNA-mediated approach wherein dynamic single-molecule binding provides a controlled particle-fluorophore spacing, and dynamic rebinding circumvents artifacts due to photobleaching. We find that near saturation the maximum photon count rate is enhanced by more than 2 orders of magnitude at the optimal particle-fluorophore spacing, even for a dye with a high intrinsic quantum yield. We compare our results to a numerical model taking into account dye saturation. These experiments provide design rules to maximize the photon output of single emitters, which will open the door to studying fast dynamics in real time using single-molecule fluorescence.
