Endogenous Fluorescence Carbon Dots Derived from Food Items.
Review in Innovation (Cambridge (Mass.)), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
backgroundFluorescent carbon dots (CDs) are a novel class of carbon-based nanomaterials that were discovered in 2004. However, nobody knew that CDs existed in food items naturally until 2012. Properties of nanosize materials are distinct from those of their bulk materials due to the particle size and accordingly alter their bioavailability and/or biocompatibility. Therefore, the potential health risk of nanoparticles in food has drawn massive attention. Currently, almost all studies regarding the biosafety of nanoparticles in food have mainly focused on engineered nanoparticles used as food additives and have excluded the endogenous nanoparticles in food. Therefore, investigation of the properties of food-borne fluorescent CDs and their potential health risk to humans is of great significance. SCOPE AND APPROACH: This review summarizes the existing literature on fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) in food, with particular attention to their properties, formation process, and the potential health risks posed to consumers. The knowledge gap between food-borne nanoparticles and their potential risks is identified, and future research is proposed. KEY FINDINGS AND
conclusionsThe presence of fluorescent CDs in food produced during food processing has been summarized. Fluorescent CDs less than 10 nm in size mainly contain carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and/or nitrogen. The presence of CDs in food items was first demonstrated in 2012, and their formation was attributed to heating of the starting material. The properties of CDs in food are different from the engineered nanoparticles used as food as additives and represent a novel kind of nanostructure in food. Further studies should focus on the chronic effects of CDs, although their toxicity is low, because investigations both
