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

Photonic crystals are a unique tool to modify the photoluminescence of light-emitting materials. A variety of optical effects have been demonstrated by infiltrating opaline structures with photoactive media. On the other hand, the fabrication of such structures includes complex infiltration steps, that often affect the opal lattice and decrease the efficiency of light emission control. In this work, silica nanospheres were directly functionalized with rhodamine B to create an emitting shell around the dielectric core. Simple tuning of the microsphere preparation conditions allows selecting the appropriate sphere diameter and polydispersity index approaching 5%. These characteristics allow facile self-assembling of the nanospheres into three-dimensional photonic crystals whose peculiar density of photonic states at the band-gap edges induces spectral redistribution of the rhodamine B photoluminescence. The possibility to employ the new stable structure as sensor is also investigated. As a proof of principle, we report the variation of light emission obtained by exposure of the opal to vapor of chlorobenzene.
