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

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) enables ultra-sensitive molecular detection and has broad analytical and biomedical applications; recent advances focus on high-performance substrates and innovative detection strategies. However, achieving controllable and reproducible substrate fabrication-particularly using natural templates such as hair-remains challenging, limiting SERS application in trace analysis and on-site detection. This study developed a single-hair in situ SERS platform using a natural hair template. Confinement within hair cuticle grooves and capillary-evaporation assembly enables dense arrangement of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-coated Au nanorods and polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated Au nanoparticles, forming uniform plasmonic nanoarrays. Spectroscopy and microscopy analyses confirmed the regular alignment of nanostructures along the hair axis with denser packing at the edges. The platform detected crystal violet at 10
