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

Severe acute respiratory syndrome SARS-CoV-2 virus led to notable challenges amongst researchers in view of development of new and fast detecting techniques. In this regard, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technique, providing a fingerprint characteristic for each material, would be an interesting approach. The current study encompasses the fabrication of a SERS sensor to study the SARS-CoV-2 S1 (RBD) spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus family. The SERS sensor consists of a silicon nanowires (SiNWs) substrate decorated with plasmonic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Both SiNWs fabrication and AgNPs decoration were achieved by a relatively simple wet chemical processing method. The study deliberately projects the factors that influence the growth of silicon nanowires, uniform decoration of AgNPs onto the SiNWs matrix along with detection of Rhodamine-6G (R6G) to optimize the best conditions for enhanced sensing of the spike protein. Increasing the time period of etching process resulted in enhanced SiNWs' length from 0.55 to 7.34 µm. Furthermore, the variation of the immersion time in the decoration process of AgNPs onto SiNWs ensued the optimum time period for the enhancement in the sensitivity of detection. Tremendous increase in sensitivity of R6G detection was perceived on SiNWs etched for 2 min (length=0.90 µm), followed by 30s of immersion time for their optimal decoration by AgNPs. These SiNWs/AgNPs SERS-based sensors were able to detect the spike protein at a concentration down to 9.3 × 10
