Green Synthesis of a Carbon Quantum Dots-Based Superhydrophobic Membrane for Efficient Oil/Water Separation.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The efficient separation of oil and water is a significant challenge worldwide due to the increasing frequency of industrial oily wastewater. Previous work by our group utilizes biological metal-organic framework-based superhydrophobic (S.P) textile fabric for oil/water separation. However, this system is limited due to the low mechanical stability, so there is a need for producing a more robust S.P membrane for oil/water separation. In this study, we report on the synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CQD) from banana leaves via a hydrothermal process and their application in producing a robust S.P coating on textile fabric for oil/water separation. The CQDs were characterized using various techniques including TEM, XRD, absorbance spectroscopy, and the BET method. The TEM images showed that the CQDs were circular in shape with a size of 4.4 nm, while the XRD micrograph indicated that the CQDs were crystalline in nature. The UV-vis graph showed a peak at a wavelength of 278 nm, suggesting strong absorption in the ultraviolet region. The BET-specific surface area of the prepared CQDs is 845 m
