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

Plasmonic structures, such as bowtie nanoantennas, may be used in Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). Nanoantennas can be employed to amplify the biomolecular and chemical reactions, which is useful for biomedical applications. The electric field created by nanoantennas are optimized when the resonant wavelength of the probed laser light closely matches the resonant wavelength of the plasmonic structure. In this work, we fabricated several bowtie nanoantennas with varying geometric spacing for use with a 532 nm wavelength laser line in Raman Spectroscopy. The fabrication utilized nanolithography by electron beam lithography on a Raith Voyager, development, deposition, and metal lift-off. This study explored a specific bowtie nanoantenna geometry of 270 nm equilateral sides triangle pairs with 3 varying gap sizes, 50 nm, 20 nm, and 10 nm, and the effect of varying electron beam doses on the final structure of the nanoantenna. The results presented here, will show that the working dose factor range is 6.5-10.3 (650-10,300 μC/cm
