Interaction of Colloidal Gold Nanoparticles with Urine and Saliva Biofluids: An Exploratory Study.

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
The use of gold nanoparticles for drug delivery, photothermal or photodynamic therapy, and biosensing enhances the demand for knowledge about the protein corona formed on the surface of nanoparticles. In this study, gold nanospheres (AuNSs), gold nanorods (AuNRs), and gold nanoflowers (AuNFs) were incubated with saliva or urine. After the interaction, the surface of gold nanoparticles was investigated using UV-VIS spectroscopy, zeta potential, and dynamic light scattering. The shifting of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) band, the increase in hydrodynamic diameter, and the changes in the surface charge of nanoparticles indicated the presence of biomolecules on the surface of AuNSs, AuNRs, and AuNFs. The incubation of AuNFs with saliva led to nanoparticle aggregation and minimal protein adsorption. AuNSs and AuNRs incubated in saliva were analyzed through liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to identify the 96 proteins adsorbed on the surface of the gold nanoparticles. Among the 20 most abundant proteins identified, 14 proteins were common in both AuNSs and AuNRs. We hypothesize that the adsorption of these proteins was due to their high sulfur content, allowing for their interaction with gold nanoparticles via the Au-S bond. The presence of distinct proteins on the surface of AuNSs or AuNRs was also investigated and possibly related to the competition between proteins present on the external layers of corona and gold nanoparticle morphology.
