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 work, a novel ecofriendly optical nanosensor for detection of Eplerenone (EPL) in biological samples was reported. Highly luminescent water-soluble nitrogen and sulfur doped carbon quantum dots (N, S-CQDs) have been prepared successfully. The synthesis was based on the reaction of thiosemicarbazide (TS) as source of N and S and citric acid (CA) as source of carbon in one-step aqueous base reflux treatment. The produced N, S-CQDs have a small particle size in the range of 4.7 nm with a high quantum yield (58.5%) and high emission intensity at 446 nm under excitation wavelength of 370 nm. The unique properties of N, S-CQDs make them useful tool as a nano fluorescent probe for sensitive determination of EPL. EPL has been found to decrease the fluorescence of S, N-CDs significantly through static quenching according to the Stern - Volmer plot. The decreased intensity of S, N-CDs fluorescence was proportional to EPL in the 0.2-3.0 μM range. The limit of detection and quantitation were 0.05 and 0.15 μM, respectively. The assay of EPL by this approach was successfully done in drug formulations and in spiked human serum samples.
