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

Stable and low-cost carbon dots (C-dots) were prepared from polyethylenimine (PEI) by a hydrothermal method. It is found that the fluorescence of the C-dots (best measured at excitation/emission wavelengths of 365/473 nm) is quenched by selective oxidation of surface PEI by periodate but recovers in the presence of uric acid (UA). It is assumed that this is due to the selective reduction of the nitrone groups to hydroxylamine groups by UA. The findings were used to design a fluorometric method for determination of UA that has a 2.3 nM detection limit. This is lower than that of reported fluorometric and enzymatic assays. The performance of the method has been validated by determination of UA in samples of human saliva. It is found that the results agree well with those obtained by a commercial UA assay.
