Green Synthesis of Luminescent Carbon Dots from Ficus benghalensis Aerial Roots for Bioimaging.
Article in Journal of fluorescence, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In this work, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were prepared using a one-step hydrothermal green synthesis method from a low-cost and eco-friendly renewable biomass, specifically the Ficus benghalensis aerial roots (FB-AR). For the past two decades, CQDs have been noted for their tunable emission spectrum, quantum yield, biocompatibility, photostability, and unique optoelectronic properties such as photoluminescence (PL), and fluorescence. The synthesized Ficus benghalensis carbon quantum dots (FB-CQDs) were characterized for their physical, structural, and chemical properties using XRD, Raman, HRTEM, XPS, FTIR, TG-DTG, UV-visible, and photoluminance analysis. XPS analysis confirmed the presence of phytoconstituent functionalities and the composition of components. The FB-CQDs, which exhibit long-range emissions, have potential applications in various biological and therapeutic fields. Their bioimaging capability is tested in Escherichia coli bacteria. However, despite their promising characteristics, the FB-CQDs showed no antibacterial inhibition against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, likely due to its carbonization temperature.
