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

Red emissive B,N co-doped carbon dots (BN-CDs) were hydrothermally synthesized from cresyl violet and boric acid. The BN-CDs exhibited excellent photostability, low cytotoxicity, excitation/emission maxima at 520/616 nm, and a relatively high quantum yield of 18%. The BN-CDs can binded to mercury(II), and this results in quenching of the red-colored fluorescence. However, on subsequent addition of the biothiol (such as cysteine, homocysteine or glutathione), fluorescence recovers. Therefore, the BN-CDs can be used as a multifunctional probe based on "on-off-on" fluorescence response for the detection of Hg(II) and biothiols. The following detection limits were accomplished: (a) Hg(II): 2.8 μM; (b) glutathione: 1.7 μM; (c) cysteine: 2.3 μM; (d) homocysteine: 3.0 μM. The BN-CDs also have been successfully applied for the imaging of Hg(II) and biothiols in HepG2 cells with excellent bio-compatibility. Graphical abstract Red emissive B,N co-doped carbon dots (BN-CDs) were synthesized through hydrothermal treatment of cresyl violet and boric acid. The BN-CDs can be used as a multifunctional probe based on "on-off-on" fluorescence response for detecting mercury(II) and biothiols in aqueous solution and living cells.
