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

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a surface-sensitive analytical technique that relies heavily on plasmonic substrates to enhance Raman scattering. In this study, we report the fabrication of a cost-effective SERS substrate by thermally evaporating silver (Ag) onto the eggshell membrane (ESM), a low-cost and biologically sourced material, to create substrates with controlled surface morphologies. The silver coating thickness has been varied to optimize the signal enhancement and was evaluated with three different standard Raman active molecules: 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA), 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA), and rhodamine 6G (R6G)- as analytes. The developed substrates exhibited remarkable SERS activity with an Enhancement Factor (EF) of 0.12 ×10
