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

Plasmonic nanopipettes, which are functionalized with plasmonic nanomaterials, are widely used in near-field spectroscopy to enhance the optical processes. The fabrication and screening processes of these nanopipettes are critical for their intended applications. Here, an easy-to-implement fabrication scheme based on high-vacuum sputtered gold island films was reported. Additionally, the process of using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to evaluate the plasmonic enhancement of nanopipettes was described for near-infrared laser excitation, and it could be readily applied to other optical windows. These results indicated that the reported plasmonic nanopipettes can be used as Tip-SERS probes. Finally, the scanning ion-conductance microscopic tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SICM-TERS) was demonstrated with the optimized plasmonic nanopipette. Together with density functional theory simulation, the observed near-field Raman spectra were analyzed and assigned. These plasmonic nanopipettes can be used to investigate a range of surface science problems in heterogeneous electrochemical interfaces, as well as in soft and biomimetic materials.
