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

Gas-sensing technology has witnessed significant advancements that have been driven by the emergence of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and their tailored nanocomposites. This comprehensive review surveys the recent progress made in the construction methods and applications of functionalized GQDs and GQD-based nanocomposites for gas sensing. The gas-sensing mechanisms, based on the Fermi-level control and charge carrier depletion layer theory, are briefly explained through the formation of heterojunctions and the adsorption/desorption principle. Furthermore, this review explores the enhancements achieved through the incorporation of GQDs into nanocomposites with diverse matrices, including polymers, metal oxides, and 2D materials. We also provide an overview of the key progress in various hazardous gas sensing applications using functionalized GQDs and GQD-based nanocomposites, focusing on key detection parameters such as sensitivity, selectivity, stability, response and recovery time, repeatability, and limit of detection (LOD). According to the most recent data, the normally reported values for the LOD of various toxic gases using GQD-based sensors are in the range of 1-10 ppm. Remarkably, some GQD-based sensors exhibit extremely low detection limits, such as N-GQDs/SnO
