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

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) has the potential to characterize the size and composition of quantum dots (QDs). However, examples of its usage in the literature are limited. In this study, we perform an in-depth characterization of the size and composition of the CdSe QD system using a combination of MALDI MS and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Using these techniques, we determine the size and composition of a series of wurtzite and zincblende CdSe QDs. The composition ranges from 176 to 1202 CdSe units per QD. With this information, we construct a sizing curve for the QDs and compare it with sizing curves from the literature obtained using other techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). These results will be insightful for the community developing complex multilayer QD compositions for photonic applications.
