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

Plasmonic heating of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) using pulsed lasers (PLs) enables microbubble generation for imaging, diagnostics, and microfluidics. However, aggregation and photomodification cause inconsistencies (variations) in microbubble formation and distribution, particularly in pool-like environments where GNPs undergo aggregation and photomodification. This study experimentally investigates microbubble generation by heating GNPs (532 nm, nanoseconds PL) of various sizes and concentrations, using high-speed imaging (20 kfps). Results show unpredictable variations in bubble formation area (BFA), even under similar energy absorption. Large individual microbubbles were observed at relatively low energy absorption, primarily due to aggregation. Boiling on the transparent surface occurred in multiple tests, a phenomenon linked to optical pulling forces that deposited GNPs on the surface. This produced well-defined semi-circular bubbles (∼600
