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
The excessive use of antibiotics, particularly Cefixime (CXM) and tetracycline (TET), poses serious risks to human health and the environment. This study presents a novel detection method utilizing zinc sulfide-cadmium sulfide/cobalt (ZnS-CdS/Co) quantum dots, characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence (PL), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), mapping, Line scan, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Aqueous solutions of varied TET and CXM concentrations were prepared and analyzed using these synthesized quantum dots. The analysis revealed a significant decrease in fluorescence intensity with increasing antibiotic concentrations, demonstrating the method's high specificity and sensitivity. Recovery experiments with spiked milk samples yielded high accuracy, with CXM recovery rates ranging from 96.0 to 100.77% for Bistoon milk and 100.5-100.33% for Kalleh milk; TET recovery rates ranged from 97.2 to 106.0% for Bistoon milk and 93.16-102.5% for Kalleh milk. The optimized ZnS-CdS/Co nanoparticles showed low detection limits of 4.5 nM for CXM and 5.2 nM for TET. These findings underscore the potential of this rapid detection system as an effective tool for monitoring antibiotic residues in food products, significantly contributing to food safety and environmental sustainability. Future research could focus on enhancing the selectivity of these quantum dots for broader applications in complex matrices, promoting more sustainable antibiotic monitoring practices.
