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
The exploration of innovative materials for the chemical detection of organic contaminants remains an ongoing endeavor. Pesticides are a threat to human health because they are present in water bodies, crops, and processed foods. Oxidized porous silicon (OPSi) materials offer a versatile platform for plasmonic architectures by integrating a high surface area with adjustable optical properties. In this study, a Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) substrate was developed by decorating OPSi layers with gold nanoislands through a controlled sputter deposition process. By systematically varying the gold deposition time, we identified clear correlations between the morphology of the nanoislands, localized surface plasmon resonance characteristics, and SERS improvement of the Raman signals. Scanning electron microscopy and UV-visible reflectance spectroscopy revealed a tunable plasmonic response, optimal at a 5 s deposition, where isolated islands maximize the electromagnetic hot-spot density without percolation. The optimized architecture facilitated sensitive, label-free detection of acetamiprid as a model pesticide analyte, achieving a detection limit of less than 0.2 μg/mL (8.9 8 × 10
