Mass Spectrometry-Based Analyses of Carbon Nanodots: Structural Elucidation.
Review in ACS omega, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 nanodots (CNDs) are nanomaterials with ubiquitous applications in health for diagnosis and treatments. The key to enhancing the applications of carbon nanodots in various fields lies on how deep its structure is understood. Here, we review the mass spectroscopy (MS) techniques employed for carbon nanodot analysis. We aimed to revive the use of MS to support the structural elucidation of carbon nanodots. General techniques used in nanomaterials characterization include laser desorption/ionization (LDI), matrix-assisted LDI (MALDI), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), and electrospray ionization (ESI) MS. For CNDs characterization, LDI-MS, MALDI-MS, and ESI-MS were employed. The techniques required further instrumentations of time-of-flight (TOF), for MALDI, and TOF, quadrupole (Q), and tandem (MS/MS) for ESI. LDI-MS could be applied to prove the surface and core structural composition of carbon nanodots. Meanwhile, MALDI-MS was used to elucidate the surface structures of CNDs. Finally, ESI-MS could provide significant insight into the carbon nanodots' structural composition and bonding patterns. In summary, MS could be combined with other techniques to unambiguously elucidate the structure of carbon nanodots.
