Antibacterial and Antitumor Application of Carbon Dots Based on Natural Products for Photodynamic/Photothermal Effects.
Article in International journal of nanomedicine, 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
Introduction: This work presents an easy one-pot synthesis to prepare carbon dots (CDs) from natural products, and their successful application as photosensitizers (PS) and photothermal agents (PA) to combat bacteria and cancerous cells. Despite some differences may appear in the natural extracts due to the obtaining process, it was possible to obtain antibacterial/antitumor photoactivated nanomedicine from common carbon sources as annatto, cinnamon and curcumin. Methods: Water dispersions of Results and Discussion: This research synthesized irregular shaped CDs, in the range of 2.3 to 3.7 nm, from natural sources. Regarding, their photodynamic and photothermal properties, it was demonstrated that after irradiation CDs generated
