Amino acid assisted synthesis of CDs: a novel paradigm in plant tissue culture media for enhanced cellular effects and biotechnological advancements.
Article in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We report a green approach to prepare carbon dots (CDs) with fresh tomatoes as carbon sources and amino acids as dopants (ACDs) by a microwave assisted method. The synthesised CDs were analysed by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photo electron spectroscopy. An MTT assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of CDs toward L929 cells and found that CDs exhibit low cytotoxicity. The effects of ACDs on seed germination were evaluated by treating pea seeds with various concentrations of CDs. The results demonstrated a significant increase in germination and seedling vigour compared to untreated controls. Subsequently, the application of ACDs was extended to plant tissue culture. Explants treated with ACDs exhibited enhanced growth and development, indicating improved morphogenesis and proliferation rates. This study highlights the potential of ACDs as an efficient, non-toxic growth promoter in both seed germination and plant tissue culture, paving the way for their application in sustainable agriculture and plant biotechnology.
