A review on advancements in carbon quantum dots and their application in photovoltaics.
Review in RSC advances, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 39 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
Carbon quantum dots are a new frontier in the field of fluorescent nanomaterials, and they exhibit fascinating properties such as biocompatibility, low toxicity, eco-friendliness, good water solubility and photostability. In addition, the synthesis of these nanoparticles is facile, rapid, and satisfies green chemistry principles. CQDs have easily tunable optical properties and have found applications in bioimaging, nanomedicine, drug delivery, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis and other related areas. This article systematically reviews carbon quantum dot structure, their synthesis techniques, recent advancements, the effects of doping and surface engineering on their optical properties, and related photoluminescence models in detail. The challenges associated with these nanomaterials and their prospects are discussed, and special emphasis has been placed on the application of carbon quantum dots in enhancing the performance of photovoltaics and white light-emitting diodes.
