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

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as a versatile photocatalyst for a wide range of photocatalytic transformations owing to its high absorption coefficient, large surface-to-volume ratio, high stability, and efficient charge and energy transfer dynamics. The past decades have witnessed a rapid development of QDs for artificial photocatalysis. In this review, the unique characteristics of QDs are focused on, including quantum size effect, compositional and structural diversity, tunable surface chemistry, and photophysics, that can be utilized for photocatalytic transformations. The recent advancements in photocatalytic organic transformations enabled by QDs photocatalysts are summarized. The unique opportunities of QDs are highlighted to tackle organic reactions that are previously unattainable with small molecule photocatalysts. Lastly, an outlook is provided for future directions in this field.
