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

Background: Dental caries, primarily driven by Methods: To address this, we report a biomimetic photothermal nanoplatform (FWA NPs) featuring a hierarchical, urchin-like multi-spiked architecture, synthesized via the co-assembly of ferrocene-tryptophan conjugates and in situ biomineralized gold nanoparticles. Results: Benefiting from this unique topological structure, FWA NPs maximize interfacial interactions with bacterial membranes and exhibit enhanced near-infrared absorption, achieving a remarkable photothermal conversion efficiency of 54.4%. Under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, this rapid and localized heat generation induced efficient eradication of Conclusion: By synergistically integrating topological advantages with highly efficient energy conversion, this rationally designed nanoplatform offers a highly effective, non-antibiotic therapeutic paradigm for combating biofilm-associated oral infections and mitigating the global threat of antimicrobial resistance.
