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

We develop a tunable, ultrafast (5 seconds), and mass-producible seed-mediated synthesis method to prepare branched Au superparticles consisting of multiple small Au island-like nanoparticles by a wet chemical route. We reveal and confirm the toggling formation mechanism of Au superparticles between the Frank-van der Merwe (FM) growth mode and the Volmer-Weber (VW) growth mode. The key factor of this special structure is the frequent toggling between the FM (layer by layer) growth mode and the VW (island) growth mode induced by 3-aminophenol, which is continuously absorbed on the surface of newborn Au nanoparticles, leading to a relatively high surface energy during the overall synthesis process, thus achieving an island on island growth. Such Au superparticles demonstrate broadband absorption from visible to near-infrared regions due to their multiple plasmonic coupling and hence they have important applications in sensors, photothermal conversion and therapy,
