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

Incorporating shape-directing additives in colloidal syntheses has proved critical in exerting architectural control over noble metal nanostructures, but these same additives can prove problematic in downstream processing and applications. This deficiency has led to the emergence of a class of synthetic protocols, referred to as surfactant-free syntheses, that mitigate these issues by using reagents that realize nanoparticle surfaces that are unencumbered by persistent shape-directing agents. Polyol- and monoalcohol-based growth solutions have proven highly effective in this regard; however, shape-control in the absence of additives has proved elusive. Herein, a seed-mediated photochemical synthesis is demonstrated that can form arrays of highly faceted gold nanoplates in a room-temperature growth solution of HAuCl
