Capacitive photocharging of gold nanorods.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. 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
Light can charge plasmonic nanoparticles by photoredox reactions, significantly modifying their optical and chemical properties. However, the charging process has been challenging to track experimentally, severely hindering its thorough evaluation. In this study, we investigate the charging of gold nanorods during a light-induced reaction in situ, utilizing the sensitivity of the rods' longitudinal localized surface plasmon resonance to charge accumulation. Describing the particles as nanocapacitors, we present a model to quantify the number of charges on the particles and their connection to the illumination intensity. We find that the Fermi level, together with all other energy bands, is raised because of the repulsive potential of the additional charges. Experimental observations of the dependence on the solvent, the particle size, and ligand type further corroborate the proposed capacitor model. The results presented in this study lay the groundwork for the rational engineering of dynamic charge accumulation during plasmon-driven photoreactions.
