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

Current all-optical chiral sorting approaches are ineffective for nanoscale drug molecules with weak chirality, as their faint optical response cannot maintain the chiral sorting mechanism. To overcome this physical limitation, the theoretical study proposes a core-shell composite chiral sensing microsphere, in which a drug crystal core is encapsulated by a nematic liquid crystal shell, acting as a chirality-amplifying carrier for optofluidic detection. Using a sodium ibuprofen nanocrystal as a representative weakly chiral drug, the optimal core-shell sensing structure was determined to consist of a nematic liquid crystal E7 shell with a radius of 19 μm and a sodium ibuprofen crystal core with a radius of 9.5 μm. This optimized configuration amplifies the molecular chirality parameter from 10
