Surface-enhanced Raman scattering of DNA bases using frozen silver nanoparticle dispersion as a platform.

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
Raman spectroscopy is a powerful method to characterize molecules in various media. Although surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is often employed to compensate for the intrinsically poor sensitivity of Raman spectroscopy, there remain serious tasks, such as simple preparations of SERS substrates, sensitivity control, and reproducible measurements. Here, we propose freezing as an efficient way to overcome these problems in SERS measurements using DNA bases as model targets. Solutes are expelled from ice crystals and concentrated in the liquid phase upon freezing. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are also concentrated in the liquid phase to aggregate with Raman target analytes. The SERS signal intensity is maximized when the AgNP concentration exceeds the critical aggregation value. Freezing allows up to 5000 times enhancements of the SERS signal. Thus, an efficient SERS platform is prepared by simple freezing. The simultaneous detection of four DNA bases effectively eliminates variations of signal intensities and allows the reliable determination of concentration ratios.
