Fluorescent Carbon Dots for Selective Labeling of Subcellular Organelles.
Review in ACS omega, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
With the recent advancement in understanding and control of the structure and optical properties of fluorescent carbon dots (CDs), they have been shown to be valuable in biolabeling of bacteria, tumor cells, tissues, and organelles. Their extremely small size and tunable functional properties coupled with ultrastable fluorescence enable CDs to be used for easy and effective labeling of various organelles. In addition, CDs with advantages of easy preparation and functionalization with recognition elements and/or drugs have emerged as nanocarriers for organelle-targeted drug delivery. In this review, we mainly discuss the applications of fluorescent CDs for the labeling of organelles, including lysosome, nucleoli, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria. We highlight the importance of the surface properties (functional groups, hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, charges, zwitterions) and the size of CDs for labeling. Several interesting examples are provided to highlight the potential and disadvantages of CDs for labeling organelles. Strategies for the preparation of CDs for specific labeling of organelles are suggested. With the edge in preparation of diverse CDs, their potential in labeling and drug delivery is highly expected.
