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

The nonradiative conversion of light to heat by plasmonic nanostructures, the so-called plasmonic photothermal effect, has attracted enormous attention due to their widespread potential applications. Herein, the perspectives on the design and preparation of plasmonic nanostructures for light to heat or photothermal conversion are provided. The general principle of plasmonic photothermal conversion is first introduced, and then, the strategies for improving efficiency are discussed, which is the focus of this field. Then, five typical application types are used, including solar energy harvesting, photothermal actuation, photothermal therapy, laser-induced color printing, and high-temperature photothermal devices, to elucidate how to tailor the nanomaterials to meet the requirements of these specific applications. In addition to the photothermal effect, other unique physical and chemical properties are coupled to further explore the application scenarios of plasmonic photothermal materials. Finally, a summary and the perspectives on the directions that may lead to the future development of this exciting field are also given.
