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

(1) Background: gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are of particular interest in biomedical research because they possess unique optical properties. In particular, its localized surface plasmon resonance is widely used for photothermal therapy and for detecting molecular interactions at nanoparticle surfaces. To enhance circulation time and biocompatibility, nanoparticles are often coated to shield their hydrophobic character. (2) Methods: we explored the seed-growth method to coat AuNPs with phospholipids to improve colloidal stability. (3) Results: various charged phospholipids were tested, and particle size and zeta potential were characterized. The monodispersity of the coated nanoparticles strongly depends on the narrow size distribution of both gold nanoparticles seeds and lipid vesicles. Achieving stable coated AuNPs with zwitterionic lipids such as phosphatidylcholine was challenging, whereas coatings containing phosphatidylglycerol did not compromise nanoparticle stability. (4) Conclusions: coating AuNPs with phospholipids via the seed-growth method has potential but requires further optimization to improve reproducibility and achieve stable nanoparticles with near-neutral surface charge.
