Using gold-based nanomaterials for fighting pathogenic bacteria: from detection to therapy.
Review in Mikrochimica acta, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Owing to the unique quantum size effect and surface effect, gold-based nanomaterials (GNMs) are promising for pathogen detection and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. This review summarizes recent research on GNMs as sensors for detecting pathogens and as tools for their elimination. Firstly, the need for pathogen detection is briefly introduced with an overview of the physicochemical properties of gold nanomaterials. And then strategies for the application of GNMs in pathogen detection are discussed. Colorimetric, fluorescence, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) techniques, dark-field microscopy detection and electrochemical methods can enable efficient, sensitive, and specific pathogen detection. The third section describes the antimicrobial applications of GNMs. They can be used for antimicrobial agent delivery and photothermal conversion and can act synergistically with photosensitizers to achieve the precise killing of pathogens. In addition, GNMs are promising for integrated pathogen detection and treatment; for example, combinations of colorimetric or SERS detection with photothermal sterilization have been demonstrated. Finally, future outlooks for the applications of GNMs in pathogen detection and treatment are summarized.
