Preparation of Biomass Waste-Derived Carbon Dots by the Thermal Degradation Process.
Article in ACS omega, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Agricultural and food industry waste biomass is a material with diverse origins and a resulting variety of physicochemical characteristics and compositions. Because of its source, it is characterized by a high carbon content, and so it has been considered a worthwhile substrate for the synthesis of carbon dots (CDs). Therefore, waste biomass with high availability in Central Europe was selected as substrates for CDs synthesis: apple pomace, rapeseed pomace, and potato peelings. These materials are characterized by varying the composition and nitrogen content. The synthesis of CDs by thermolysis was investigated. The obtained CDs were examined by UV-vis spectrophotometry, spectrofluorimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The CDs synthesis yield (SY) and fluorescence quantum yield (QY) were determined. This paper proves that CDs can be synthesized efficiently by thermal degradation in a solvent-free process using plant waste biomass. Despite the varying compositions of the substrates, CDs with similar emission characteristics were achieved. CDs obtained from apple pomace and potato peelings have a crystalline structure and size of 4-5 nm, while CDs obtained from rapeseed pomace have an amorphous structure and size of 11 nm. CDs derived at 260 °C from potato peelings are characterized by the strongest fluorescence among synthesized materials, a QY of 14.5%, with 12.3% SY. The potential of the obtained CDs as an optical biosensor was investigated against a variety of metal ions and water pollutants. The CDs obtained from potato peelings can be effectively used in the detection of Fe
