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

A simple dual-colour fluorescent nanoprobe has been designed composed of blue and yellow emission carbon quantum dots (CQDs). This system is inexpensive and easy to operate and was successfully employed for on-site measurements based on a smartphone app. The designed nanoprobe exhibited increased selectivity for Cr(VI), leading to a double stable response of the two CQDs. The dual-emission nanoprobe showed blue-violet fluorescence upon UV irradiation, and the fluorescent emission peaks were located at 418 nm and 552 nm. The blue light emission of CQDs was quenched with increasing Cr(VI) concentration due to the inner filter effect, whereas the yellow light emission was enhanced due to the aggregation-induced emission effect. The different responses of the dual emissions to Cr(VI) resulted in a fluorescent colour variation, thus enabling facile macroscopic visualization. With a smartphone, the change in the fluorescence colour could be observed more apparently than that of a single fluorescence nanoprobe, and the response increased linearly so that the nanoprobe could be applied to instantaneous measurements. Furthermore, the dual-emission nanoprobe was successfully employed for analysing food and water samples. Accurate concentrations were obtained by constructing a calibration plot using a fluorescence spectrometer and a smartphone app; the recoveries were 81.6% to 107.7%, and the relative standard deviation was below 3.6%. Therefore, this smartphone-integrated dual-emission detection system is promising as a new portable method for the on-site measurement of Cr(VI) ions. * Y-CQDs: yellow emission carbon quantum dots. B-CQDs: blue emission carbon quantum dots. B/Y-CQDs: a mixture of B-CQDs and Y-CQDs.
