Size Dependence of Gold Nanorods for Efficient and Rapid Photothermal Therapy.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
In recent years, gold nanomaterials have become a hot topic in photothermal tumor therapy due to their unique surface plasmon resonance characteristics. The effectiveness of photothermal therapy is highly dependent on the shape and size of gold nanoparticles. In this work, we investigate the photothermal therapeutic effects of four different sizes of gold nanorods (GNRs). The results show that the uptake of short GNRs with aspect ratios 3.3-3.5 by cells is higher than that of GNRs with aspect ratios 4-5.5. Using a laser with single pulse energy as low as 28 pJ laser for 20 s can induce the death of liver cancer cells co-cultured with short GNRs. Long GNRs required twice the energy to achieve the same therapeutic effect. The dual-temperature model is used to simulate the photothermal response of intracellular clusters irradiated by a laser. It is found that small GNRs are easier to compact because of their morphological characteristics, and the electromagnetic coupling between GNRs is better, which increases the internal field enhancement, resulting in higher local temperature. Compared with a single GNR, GNR clusters are less dependent on polarization and wavelength, which is more conducive to the flexible selection of excitation laser sources.
