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 the synthesis of plasmonic complex Disk-in-Trenched nano-Dome (DiTD) nanostructures that combine a nanodisk core, an internal hollow cavity, and a surrounding trench shell in a single architecture. Their construction involves a multi-step synthetic method beginning with Au@Pt nanodisks, followed by facet-controlled Ag overgrowth as a sacrificial layer and subsequent formation of the inner cavity and Au trenches. This architecture confines light within the trench nanogaps and between the nanodisk core and the hollow cavity. Structural parameters such as nanogap and shell thickness can be systematically tuned to clarify e-field enhancement mechanisms within a single particle. Single-particle surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and finite element method simulations reveal that DiTDs with an optimal trench gap (12.8 nm) and thin shell (15.9 nm), which enable effective coupling between the inner cavity and nanogap at 785 nm excitation, exhibit strong near-field focusing. These findings indicate that SERS enhancement is governed by both gap miniaturization and three-dimensional plasmonic interactions throughout the nanoparticle.
