Plasmonic Nanocomposite Implants for Interstitial Thermotherapy: Experimental and Computational Analysis.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
The ferromagnetic implant (thermoseeds) technique offers desirable features for interstitial thermotherapy. However, its efficacy has been reported to be limited by issues that are related to the properties of the metal alloys that are used to fabricate them and the high number of thermoseeds needed to achieve therapeutic temperature levels. Here, we present the results of a combination of experimental and computational analysis of plasmonic nanocomposite implants (photoseeds)-a combination of Au nanoparticles (NPs) and poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-as a model material. We performed structural and optical characterization of the Au NPs and repared Au-PDMS nanocomposites, followed by an elucidation of the heat generation capabilities of the Au-PDMS photoseeds in aqueous solution and in-vitro cancer cell suspension. Based on the experimental results, we developed a three-dimensional (3D) finite element method (FEM) model to predict
