Carbon-dot pequi-nut in the development of immunosensor to detect pathogenic bacteria.

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 dots in biosensing have advanced significantly, adding improvements to different detection techniques. In this study, an amperometric immunosensor for Salmonella Thyphimurium was designed using antibodies labeled with carbon dots (Cdots) from pequi almond (Caryocar brasiliensis). Cdots were synthesized by pyrolysis and characterized by FTIR, UV/fluorescence, electrochemistry, zeta potential, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A particle size of 6.80 ± 2.13 nm was estimated, and the zeta potential was - 47.4 mV, indicating the preponderant presence of acidic groups, as confirmed by FTIR. The impedance evaluation of the response of biosensors assembled for live (Rct = 13.4 kΩ) and dead (Rct = 499.7 Ω) Salmonella showed a significant difference in their values, in agreement with chronoamperometric analyses, which had their current values drastically reduced from - 2.2 mA (live) to 0 mA (dead). An analytical curve for Salmonella was established with the limit of detection lower than 1 CFU/mL. This electrochemical biosensor using pequi carbon dots for antibody labeling showed promising results for detecting the pathogen. Thus, carbon dots can be used as substitutes for enzymes in labeling antibodies used in the design and production of sensors.
