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 research of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has been growing rapidly for the design of highly luminescent materials, as exemplified by the library of AIE-active materials (or AIEgens) fabricated and explored for diverse applications in different fields. Herein, we reported a relay luminescence enhancement of luminescent Au nanoclusters (Au NCs) through AIE. In addition, we demonstrated the emergence of reduced aggregation-caused luminescence by adjusting the temperature of the Au NC solution. The key to induce this effect is to attach a thermosensitive polymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) on the surface of Au NCs, which will shrink at high temperature. More interestingly, the as-synthesized Au NCs-PNIPAAm can self-assemble into vesicles, resulting in an obvious decrease in the luminescence intensity in aqueous solution. The combination of relay luminescence enhancement (by AIE) and luminescence decrease (induced by thermosensitive polymers) will be beneficial to the understanding and manipulation of the optical properties of Au NCs, paving the way for their practical applications.
