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

Nanoparticle capsules (NCs), capsule-like structures composed of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs), hold great potential for diverse applications due to their structure-driven functionality and the unique properties of the NPs. Despite advancements in NC formation methods, achieving both stable formation and efficient material encapsulation remains challenging. In this study, a simple and versatile method is developed for the formation of inorganic NCs. Inorganic NCs are formed from oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG)-modified inorganic NPs via self-assembly at solute-induced liquid-liquid interfaces. First, Au NCs are formed from OEG-Au NPs. Their formation is confirmed by scanning transmission electron microscopic (STEM) and cryo-electron tomographic (ET) observations. The resulting Au NCs exhibited high stability, uniform size, and precise tunability under various conditions. The method is further extended to magnetic Fe
