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
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) possess remarkable optical properties and electrical conductivity, making them highly relevant in various fields such as medical diagnoses, biological imaging, and electronic sensors. However, the existing methods for modulating the optical properties of AuNPs are often under limitations such as a high cost, the complexity of detection, a narrow range of application settings, and irreversibility. In this study, we propose a novel approach to address these challenges by constructing a reversible electrochemical switch. The switch (ITO-OMAD) involves covalently linking nitroxide radicals and AuNPs (AuNPs-NO•), followed by tethering this nanocomposite to a siloxane-derived indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode. By simply electrochemically oxidizing/reducing the nitroxide units, one is able to reversibly modulate the optical properties of AuNPs at will. The surface morphology and structure of the as-prepared ITO-OMAD electrode were characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). SEM imaging confirmed the successful anchoring of AuNPs on the ITO electrode. Electrochemical tests performed in the three-electrode system demonstrated that the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of AuNPs can be reversibly regulated by alternatively imposing ± 0.5V (vs. Ag/AgCl) to the modified electrode. The development of this electrochemical switch presents a novel approach to effectively control the optical properties of AuNPs. The further exploration and utilization of this reversible electrochemical switch could significantly enhance the versatility and practicality of AuNPs in numerous applications.
