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

An innovative fabrication method is presented to achieve bottom-up in situ surface-overstructured Au nanoislands (NIs) with tunable grades of surface coverage, elongation, and branching, directly on micro-optical fibers for sensing applications. These all-in-gold hierarchical nanostructures consist of NIs coated with surface protrusions of various morphologies. They are created in solution using a selective seeded growth approach, whereby additional gold growth is achieved over Au NIs formerly developed on the fiber facet by a solid-state dewetting approach. The morphology of nanosized surface-NI overstructuring can be adjusted from multi-dot-decorated Au NIs to multi-arm-decorated Au NIs. This engineering of optical fibers allows for improved remote surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) molecular detection. By combining solid-state dewetting and wet-chemical approaches, stable in-contact deposition of surface-overstructured NIs with the optical fiber solid substrate is achieved, alongside precise control over branching morphology and anisotropy extent. The fiber-optic probes engineered by surface-overstructured NIs exhibit outstanding sensing performance in an instant and through-fiber detection scheme, achieving a remarkable detection limit at 10
