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

Gallium is a phase-changing plasmonic material offering ultraviolet-to-near-infrared tunability, facile and scalable preparation, and good stability of nanoparticles. In this work, we explore the impact of the liquid-to-solid phase transition on their plasmonic properties at the single-particle level by analytical transmission electron microscopy. We observed a phase transition from liquid to β-gallium with a freezing temperature around -135 °C and a melting temperature around -20 °C. We have shown that the dipole mode of localized surface plasmon resonances can be tuned through their size from the ultraviolet to visible spectral region, while the differences in localized surface plasmon energies between liquid gallium at 25 °C and β-gallium nanoparticles at -177 °C are minor. Our results show that the performance of gallium nanoparticles is, in the case of temperature-dependent experiments, unaffected by the liquid-to-solid phase change of gallium and paves the way for suppressing the nonradiative recombination in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy at cryogenic temperature.
