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

Early-stage cancer screening benefits from optical transducers capable of reading minute refractive-index deviations in biofluids. This work models a surface-plasmon-resonance (SPR) biosensor that stacks copper, silicon nitride, and MXene in Kretschmann geometry and evaluates its response to six tumour-related refractive-index increments (Δn = 0.014-0.024 RIU). Transfer-matrix calculations guide a layer-by-layer optimisation: 40 nm Cu, 7 nm Si₃N₄, and two MXene sheets form the best-balanced configuration (Sys₃), while a single MXene layer on 45 nm Cu (Sys₄) offers an alternative with lower optical loss. The optimised MXene sensors raise angular sensitivity to 254° RIU
