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

Localized surface plasmon resonance biosensors are promising devices for label-free detection of live cells and biomolecules. However, typical plasmonic sensors have limited surface area, planar electromagnetic fields, and poor compatibility with three-dimensional (3D) interactions with cells or biomolecules. In this study, a 3D plasmonic sensor around microposts was developed using reversal nanoimprint lithography for highly sensitive cell and DNA detection. Au nanopillars were conformally integrated onto the bottom, sidewall, and top of microposts, forming additional sensing surface area along the sidewall of microposts for plasmonic sensing. The 3D plasmonic sensors exhibited tunable resonance peaks and refractive index (RI) sensitivities by varying the micropost height. The highest sensitivity of 1306 nm per RI unit was obtained from the sensor with 10 μm-tall microposts at a resonance wavelength of 1315 nm, which was significantly higher than that of typical planar plasmonic sensors. The platform was applied to live MC3T3-E1 cell detection, showing a resonance peak shift of 71 ± 11.6 nm at a cell concentration of 10
