Directed Assembly of Au Nanostar@Ag Satellite Nanostructures for SERS-Based Sensing of Hg
Article in ACS applied nano materials, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Embedding Raman reporters within nanosized gaps of metallic nanoparticles is an attractive route for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) applications, although often this involves complex synthesis procedures that limit their practical use. Herein, we present the tip-selective direct growth of silver satellites surrounding gold nanostars (AuNSt@AgSAT), mediated by a dithiol Raman reporter 1,4-benzenedithiol (BDT). We propose that BDT is embedded within nanogaps which form between the AuNSt tips and the satellites, and plays a key role in mediating the satellite growth. Not only proposing a rationale for the mechanistic growth of the AuNSt@AgSAT, we also demonstrate an example for its use for the detection of Hg
