The fluorescence mechanism of carbon dots, and methods for tuning their emission color: a review.
Review in Mikrochimica acta, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 85 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
Carbon dots (CDs) display tunable photoluminescence and excitation-wavelength dependent emission. The color of fluorescence is affected by electronic bandgap transitions of conjugated π-domains, surface defect states, local fluorophores and element doping. In this review (with 145 refs.), the studies performed in the past 5 years on the relationship between the fluorescence mechanism and modes for modulating the emission color of CDs are summarized. The applications of such CDs in sensors and assays are then outlined. A concluding section then gives an outlook and describes current challenges in the design of CDs with different emission colors. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of the relationship between the color-emitting (blue, green, yellow, red and multicolor) modulation of carbon dots and fluorescence mechanism including bandgap transitions of conjugated π-domains and surface defect states.
