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

We present a simple method for customizing the optical characteristics of gold-core, silver-shell (Au@Ag) nanoparticles through controlled morphosynthesis via a seed-mediated chemical reduction approach. By systematically adjusting the concentration of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC), we obtained precise control over both the thickness of the Ag shell and the particle shape, transitioning from spherical nanoparticles to distinctly defined nanocubes. Bright field and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (BF-STEM and HAADF-STEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were employed to validate the structural and compositional changes. To link morphology with optical behavior, we utilized the Mie and Maxwell-Garnett theoretical models to simulate the dielectric response of the core-shell nanostructures, showing trends that align with experimental UV-visible absorption spectra. This research presents an easy and adjustable method for modifying the plasmonic properties of Ag@Au nanoparticles by varying their shape and shell, offering opportunities for advanced applications in sensing, photonics, and nanophotonics.
