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

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is the chemiluminescence triggered by electrochemical reactions. Due to the unique excitation mode and inherent low background, ECL has been a powerful analytical technique to be widely used in biosensing and imaging. As an emerging ECL luminophore, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have apparent advantages over traditional molecular luminophores in terms of luminescence efficiency and signal modulation ability. Therefore, the development of an efficient ECL system with QDs as luminophores is of great significance to improve the sensitivity and detection flux of ECL biosensors. In this review, we give a comprehensive summary of recent advances in ECL using semiconductor QDs as luminophores. The luminescence process and ECL mechanism of semiconductor QDs with various coreactants are discussed first. Specifically, the influence of surface defects on ECL performance of semiconductor QDs is emphasized and several typical ECL enhancement strategies are summarized. Then, the applications of semiconductor QDs in ECL biosensing are overviewed, including immunoassay, nucleic acid analysis and the detection of small molecules. Finally, the challenges and prospects of semiconductor QDs as ECL luminophores in biosensing are featured.
