1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 introduces an innovative fluorescence enhancement strategy utilizing carbon quantum dots (CQDs) for the ultrasensitive and selective detection of Ofloxacin in pharmaceutical formulations. Synthesized hydrothermally from ascorbic acid, a green, non-toxic precursor, the CQDs exhibit a unique "turn-on" response upon interaction with Ofloxacin, contrasting conventional quenching-based mechanisms. The fluorescence enhancement (22.4% quantum yield) arises from Ofloxacin-induced surface passivation of CQDs, which reduces non-radiative decay pathways, as evidenced by lifetime studies and spectroscopic characterization. Optimized synthesis conditions (180 °C, 8 h) yielded monodisperse CQDs (17-30 nm) with tailored optical properties, validated via TEM, FTIR, XPS, and XRD. Under optimal detection parameters (pH 8.0, 40 °C, 800 µL CQDs), the method achieved a wide linear dynamic range of 0.5-120 µM (y = 0.0186x + 1.0023, R
