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

In localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), rational nanogap engineering in metallic nanostructures enables strong plasmonic coupling and efficient confinement of incident electromagnetic fields, thereby significantly enhancing optical responses for biosensing applications. Traditional approaches to fabricating small gaps have relied on localizing dielectric spacers between gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). However, doing so has encountered challenges in producing high-density, clean gaps across large surface areas. Here, we demonstrate a straightforward, self-assembly-guided method for the consistent fabrication of topologically anchored AuNPs featuring sub-5 nm nanogaps, arranged on a nanostructured block copolymer template. The solution-based method enables time-dependent tuning toward high plasmonic coupling density, resulting in an extensive number of hotspots, with an equivalent sensing enhancement factor (ESEF) exceeding that of thermally annealed gold nanoisland chips by 1 × 10
