Cobalt-conjugated carbon quantum dots for in vivo monitoring of the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase inhibitor drug dichloroacetic acid.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Dichloroacetic acid (DCA), an organohalide that present in environmental sample and biological systems, got high attention for its therapeutic potential as the inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK), elevated in obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Herein, we developed a Cobalt conjugated carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs/Co) that selectively detect DCA by fluorescence "turn-on" mechanism. Utilizing TEM, DLS, UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, the mechanism has been thoroughly elucidated and is attributed to disaggregation induced enhancement (DIE). The limit of detection of the N-CQDs/Co complex is 8.7 µM. The structural characteristics and size of the N-CQDs and N-CQDS/Co complex have been verified using FT-IR, XPS, HRTEM, DLS, EDX have been performed. Additionally, the complex is used to specifically find DCA in the human cell line and in zebrafish.Journal instruction requires a city for affiliations; however, these are missing in affiliation [4].
