Esterase-Mediated Highly Fluorescent Gold Nanoclusters and Their Use in Ultrasensitive Detection of Mercury: Synthetic and Mechanistic Aspects.
Article in ACS omega, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The fast, accurate, and ultrasensitive detection of toxic mercury in real water samples is still challenging without the use of expensive sophisticated instruments. Herein, highly fluorescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) were synthesized using a newer protein templet, esterase (EST). The EST-AuNCs consisted of ∼25 Au atoms in the nanocluster having ∼2 nm size. EST-AuNCs were found to be highly stable in aqueous buffer with a wide range of pH (pH 4-12) and were also stable in powdered form. The fluorescence quantum yield of EST-AuNCs in deionized water was 6.2% which had increased to 7.8% upon the addition of 1 M NaCl (an increase of 23%). The EST-AuNCs selectively sense the toxic Hg
