Exopolysaccharide-Derived Carbon Dots for Microbial Viability Assessment.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Fluorescent dye staining combined with fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry is becoming a routine way to monitor microorganism viability that is necessary for food safety, antibiotic development, and human health. However, the conventional live/dead assay dyes suffer from high cost, inconvenient staining steps, and high cytotoxicity, which is urgently needed to overcome. Herein, cheap carbon dots, CDs-EPS605, were reported to successfully assess microbial viability in a convenient way with neglectable cytotoxicity. The fluorescent N-doped CDs-EPS605 could be facilely prepared from bacterial amino exopolysaccharide (EPS) by one-step hydrothermal carbonization, which is cost-effective and sustainable. The negatively charged CDs-EPS605 consisted of C, H, O, N, P, and S, and featured various functional groups, including -COOH, -OH, -CONH-, and -NH
