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 hereby present a novel "grafting-to"-like approach for the covalent attachment of plasmonic nanoparticles (PNPs) onto whispering gallery mode (WGM) silica microresonators. Mechanically stable optoplasmonic microresonators were employed for sensing single-particle and single-molecule interactions in real time, allowing for the differentiation between binding and non-binding events. An approximated value of the activation energy for the silanization reaction occurring during the "grafting-to" approach was obtained using the Arrhenius equation; the results agree with available values from both bulk experiments and ab initio calculations. The "grafting-to" method combined with the functionalization of the plasmonic nanoparticle with appropriate receptors, such as single-stranded DNA, provides a robust platform for probing specific single-molecule interactions under biologically relevant conditions.
