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

Interface-driven hotspot-engineered flexible optical sensors are reported having been prepared by immobilizing anisotropic nanostars (NS) on polypropylene (PP) films for in situ multiplexed detection of pesticide and synthetic colourant residues using a chemometric-assisted surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) strategy. Highly anisotropic nanostars were synthesized via a facile one-pot chemical reduction approach, with controlled nanostar morphologies facilitating tunable plasmonic activity. Detailed structural, optical and chemical compositional investigation confirmed effective integration of nanostars into PP fibrous matrices. The SERS performance was systematically modulated by varying the nanostar spike geometry, achieving a maximum enhancement factor of 9.6 × 10
