Direct Detection of Viruses Using Antibody-Modified Gold Nanorods.
Article in Journal of biophotonics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Seasonal and sporadic viral infections put enormous burdens on global health and society. Although polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and other molecular approaches can be used to detect and identify viruses, they require substantial sample processing time and often have limited portability, limiting their utility in point-of-care settings. In the current study, we investigate the accuracy of direct sensing of two bacteriophages using chemically modified gold nanorods (AuNRs). We demonstrate that when using functionalized polyethylene glycol (PEG), the surface of AuNRs can be modified with desired antibodies against a particular pathogen. Furthermore, PEG protects and passivates the surface of AuNRs against unspecific binding of biomolecules that can be present in the body fluids. We also showed that dynamic light scattering (DLS) was capable of detecting virus-bound AuNRs, enabling confirmatory detection of viruses. These results indicate that antibody-modified AuNRs can be used for the confirmatory detection of various viruses.
