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

In this original research, the synthesis of carbon nanodots (CDs) from two different solvent extracts of Nerium oleander by the thermal method was investigated under various physical conditions such as pH, reaction temperature, ionic strength, and surface passivation agent (polyethylene glycol, PEG) presence in the reaction media. The effects of extract types and physical conditions on CDs formation were characterized by UV-Visible spectrophotometry, fluorescence spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering analysis. Fluorescent CDs were obtained from PEG included reaction media. Additionally, the enhanced fluorescence intensity correlated with ascending reaction temperature was reported. The hydrodynamic particle size of CDs in aqueous solution was determined between ~1 and 235 nm with negative surface potential in the range of -6 mV and -28 mV. Moreover, CDs synthesized from aqueous extract mostly resulted in smaller size than that of ethanol extract based ones. The impact of surface passivation with PEG on the fluorescence feature of CDs was verified. For the relevant extracts of Oleander, CDs synthesized from PEG included formulations at pH 5 and NaCl free reaction media found as better alternatives than CDs synthesized under other conditions taking account their effect on fluorescence feature, hydrodynamic size and etc. Graphical Abstract.
