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

Assembly of plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) generates unique optical properties through coupling of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of individual NPs. However, precisely controlling and monitoring how mesoscale assembly dictates final optical properties remain key challenges in designing advanced plasmonic materials. Here, we introduce "nanoplasmonic isosbestics" as optical descriptors of the mesoscale organization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on soft templates. Unlike isosbestic points in molecular spectroscopy, which describe chemical equilibria, our numerical simulations demonstrate that nanoplasmonic isosbestics emerge from the coexistence of individual AuNPs and AuNP clusters, where the interparticle spacing determines the isosbestic wavelength. By templating AuNP assembly onto synthetic free-standing lipid bilayers with tunable membrane rigidity, we experimentally achieve precise control over interparticle spacing and prove that it is mirrored by univocal modulation of the isosbestic wavelength. This provides a fundamental understanding of the structure-function relationship in plasmonic systems, linking, for the first time, nanoplasmonic isosbestics to interparticle spacing and equilibrium structure in plasmonic assemblies. On the analytical perspective, nanoplasmonic isosbestics provide noninvasive optical fingerprints of the templates, opening to appealing applications. As a proof of concept, we apply this approach to profile the stiffness of two extracellular vesicle (EVs) classes─mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived and red blood cell-derived EVs─both recognized for their biological and translational potential.
