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 coherent vibrational dynamics of gold nanorods with varying aspect ratios have been extensively studied by time-resolved spectroscopy to reveal their mechanical properties, but quantum-sized rods (transverse diameter < 2 nanometers) remain unexplored. Here, we present a comprehensive study on the coherent vibrations of atomically precise gold quantum rods with distinct energy gaps (0.6 to 1.3 electron volts), all sharing the same radial dimension but with increasing aspect ratios. Time-resolved spectroscopy reveals ultrafast internal conversion and intersystem crossing, along with oscillatory features superimposed on transient signals that unveil coherent vibrational dynamics. Two dominant modes are identified: a longitudinal mode scaling with rod length and a transverse mode independent of aspect ratio. Theoretical simulations support these findings and clarify the structural origins of the observed vibrational behavior. Our study provides a framework for designing atomically precise gold quantum rods with tailored optical and vibrational properties, advancing the understanding and application of anisotropic quantum materials.
