Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Dots for Sensitive Fluorescence-Based Urea Detection in Soil.
Article in Journal of fluorescence, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This study presents a rapid, green, and highly sensitive fluorescence-based method for detecting urea in soil using nitrogen-doped carbon dots (CDs) synthesized via a microwave-assisted process. Citric acid and urea were used as carbon and nitrogen precursors, respectively, with optimal synthesis achieved at a 1:1 weight ratio and 9 min of microwave irradiation. The structural properties of nitrogen-doped carbon dots (CDs) were studied using X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) technique was used to observe the shape and size of the CDs, providing insight into their morphology. To understand the chemical composition, bonding states, and surface functionalities, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses were carried out. The performance of the nitrogen-doped-CDs in detecting urea, including their sensitivity and selectivity, was evaluated using fluorescence spectroscopy. The resulting CDs exhibited enhanced fluorescence properties and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 143 mg/gm. The method demonstrated high selectivity toward urea even in the presence of interfering metal ions, and its effectiveness was validated in soil samples under varying pH conditions. This approach provides a cost-effective, scalable, and environmentally friendly solution for real-time monitoring of soil nutrients, supporting sustainable agricultural practices through improved nitrogen management.
