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

A facile and novel method to synthesize core/satellite (CS) nanoparticles via a linker-free method is reported. Au spheres on the tips of nanostars can gradually grow bigger and eventually transform into gap-enhanced Raman tags (GERTs) to form stable and ultrabright Au nanostar/GERTs CS nanoparticles. Au nanostar/Ag sphere CS nanoparticles can also be prepared via the growth of Ag spheres on the tips, which provides a direct route to new porous Au nanostar/Ag-Au, Ag-Pt, or Ag-Pd sphere CS nanoparticles through galvanic replacement of Ag. In situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy monitoring on CS nanoparticles with different noble metals demonstrates single-particle photocatalysis; among them, the hybrid Ag-Pt CS nanoparticles show the fastest photocatalytic rates for the complete conversion of 4-nitrothiophenol (4-NTP) to 4,4-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB) at the single-particle level. This method provides a direct synthetic route to these complex nanoparticles without interference from external linker molecules and opens up new possibilities in single-particle analysis.
