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

We report a straightforward methodology to access structurally well-defined hybrid assemblies of plasmonic and excitonic nanoparticles (NPs). The developed strategy is based on the incorporation of quantum dots (QDs) coated with zinc-sulfide shells into poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) brushes at gold NP surfaces, without the necessity of incorporating specialized functional groups to drive the supracolloidal assembly. Based on control experiments involving PEGs with distinct polymeric architecture and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis, we attribute the structure formation to attractive interactions between the QD surface and the monomeric repeat unit of the PEG brushes. This combination leads to short interparticle spacings and plasmon/exciton interactions, resulting in photoluminescence (PL) quenching upon assembly. However, using block-copolymers comprising a NP-adjacent spacer block in addition to a NP-remote PEG block, the distance between gold NPs and QDs can be controlled, which in turn affects the PL properties. The versatility of the structure-formation approach is demonstrated by the possibility of applying it to two distinct core/shell QDs (InP/ZnSe/ZnS and CdSe/CdS/ZnS). This offers new perspectives in the quest for efficient nanomaterial fabrication procedures.
