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 nanostructures have always been a subject of interest to physicists, chemists, and material scientists. Despite the extensive research associated with gold nanoparticles, their actual formation mechanism is still debatable. The nanoscale rearrangements leading to the formation of gold nanostructures of definite size and shape are contradictory. The study presented in here details out a mechanism for gold nanoparticle formation in the presence of a biological template. The kinetics of gold nanostructure formation was studied using glycated hemoglobin as a biological template as well as the reducing agent. Particle formation was studied in a time- and temperature-dependent manner using different biophysical techniques. Here, we report for the first time spontaneous formation of gold nanoflowers which gradually dissociates to form smaller spherical particles. In addition, our experiments conclusively substantiate the existing postulations on gold nanoparticle formation from relatively larger precursor structures of gold and contradict with the popular nucleation growth mechanism.
