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

The plasmonic properties of carboxylated gold nanostars distributed on amidoximated polyacrylonitrile (AO PAN) electrospun polymer films scale with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) intensities for coordinated uranium(VI) oxide (uranyl) species. This two-step plasmonic sensor first isolates uranyl from solution using functionalized polymers; then carboxylated gold nanostars are subsequently deposited for SERS. Spatially resolved localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and SERS facilitate correlated nanostar optical density and uranyl quantification. To reduce sampling bias, gold nanostars are deposited in an inverted drop-coating geometry and measurements are conducted inside resulting nanoparticle coffee rings that form on the polymer substrates. This approach naturally preserves the plasmonic properties of gold nanostars while reducing the deposition of nanoparticle aggregates in active sensing regions, thereby maximizing both the accuracy and the precision of SERS measurements. Several advances are made. First, second-derivative analysis of LSPR spectra facilitates the quantification of local nanostar density across large regions of the sensor substrate by reducing background variations caused by the polymeric and gold materials. Second, local nanostar densities ranging from 140 to 200 pM·cm are shown to result in uranyl signals that are independent of nanostar concentration. Third, the Gibbs free energy of uranyl adsorption to carboxylated nanostars is estimated at 8.4 ± 0.2 kcal/mol. Finally, a linear dynamic range from ∼0.3 to 3.4 μg U/mg polymer is demonstrated. Signals vary by 10% or less. As such, the uniformity of the plasmonic activity of distributed gold nanostars and the employment of spatially resolved spectroscopic measurements on the composite nanomaterial sensor interface facilitate the quantitative detection of uranyl while also reducing the dependence on user expertise and the selected sampling region. These important advances are critical for the development of a user-friendly SERS-based sensor for uranyl.
