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

Detection of trace materials on planetary surfaces and changes to the surface composition or structural modifications is important for identifying contaminants and other near-surface changes that may contain valuable geological information. This work demonstrates a surface-enhanced raman spectroscopy (SERS) approach based on laser deposition of Au plasmonic nanoparticles onto several relevant mineral surfaces. A pulsed 1064 nm wavelength laser is used to ablate a thin gold film and deposit Au nanoparticles directly onto selected regions of an olivine mineral sample as the substrate, enabling localized in situ SERS probing. Thin surface layers of four examples of relevant planetary simulants, such as CSM-LHT, JSC-RN, OPRH4-W30, and NU-LHT-4M, which identify as lunar highland and Martian soil analogs, were deposited on olivine substrate to emulate surface-level deposits. After nanoparticle deposition on simulants, Raman features associated with these plagioclase-rich simulants became significantly more distinct, whereas conventional Raman measurements of the same thin layers produced only weak or incomplete signatures. The technique was also shown to detect a mixed surface layer containing JSC-RN simulant and TiO
