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

A method is reported for the synthesis of highly luminescent copper/molybdenum bimetallic nanoclusters (Cu/Mo NCs) using cysteine as both a capping and reducing agent. The nanoclusters display bluish-green luminescence (excitation/emission peaks at 370/490 nm) and a relative quantum yield of 26%. The capped Cu/Mo NCs were used as a fluorescent probe for determination of the antineoplastic drug methotrexate (MTX) via an inner filter effect. Fluorescence intensity decreases linearly in the 50 nM to 100 μM MTX concentration range. The limit of detection is 13.7 nM. This approach has been successfully applied to the determination of MTX in spiked human urine with a typical recovery of 99%. Graphical abstract Schematic of a fluorometric method for the determination of methotrexate (MTX) which exerts a strong inner filter effect on the fluorescence of cysteine-capped copper/molybdenum nanoclusters (CuMo NCs) at the wavelength of excitation (370 nm).
