Treasure on the Earth-Gold Nanoparticles and Their Biomedical Applications.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 45 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Recent advances in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles (NPs) have led to tremendous expansion of their potential applications in different fields, ranging from healthcare research to microelectronics and food packaging. Among the approaches for exploiting nanotechnology in medicine, gold nanomaterials in particular have been found as the most promising due to their unique advantages, such as in sensing, image enhancement, and as delivery agents. Although, the first scientific article on gold nanoparticles was presented in 1857 by Faraday, during the last few years, the progress in manufacturing these nanomaterials has taken an enormous step forward. Due to the nanoscale counterparts of gold, which exhibit distinct properties and functionality compared to bulk material, gold nanoparticles stand out, in particular, in therapy, imaging, detection, diagnostics, and precise drug delivery. This review summarizes the current state-of-the-art knowledge in terms of biomedical applications of gold nanoparticles. The application of AuNPs in the following aspects are discussed: (i) imaging and diagnosing of specific target; (ii) treatment and therapies using AuNPs; and (iii) drug delivery systems with gold nanomaterials as a carrier. Among the different approaches in medical imaging, here we either consider AuNPs as a contrast agent in computed tomography (CT), or as a particle used in optical imaging, instead of fluorophores. Moreover, their nontoxic feature, compared to the gadolinium-based contrast agents used in magnetic resonance imaging, are shown. The tunable size, shape, and functionality of gold nanoparticles make them great carriers for targeted delivery. Therefore, here, we summarize gold-based nanodrugs that are FDA approved. Finally, various approaches to treat the specific diseases using AuNPs are discussed, i.e., photothermal or photodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy.
