Green Synthesis of Carbon Dots: Advancements, Characterization, and Emerging Biological Applications.
Review 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 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
Carbon dots (CDs), a novel class of zero-dimensional nanomaterials, have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional optical properties, superior biocompatibility, and robust chemical stability. Among the diverse synthesis approaches, green synthesis has emerged as a sustainable and environmentally friendly strategy, leveraging natural precursors such as plant extracts, biomass, and other renewable resources. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of the principles, methodologies, and recent advancements in the green synthesis of CDs, emphasizing the use of non-toxic, cost-effective precursors and energy-efficient fabrication techniques. The key physicochemical attributes of CDs-including particle size, surface functionality, fluorescence characteristics, and quantum yield-are critically examined, supported by advanced characterization techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV-visible spectroscopy. The review further explores a wide spectrum of biological applications, including bioimaging, targeted drug delivery, biosensing, and antimicrobial activity, underscoring their growing potential in nanomedicine and biotechnology. By synthesizing recent progress and emerging trends, this work highlights the current challenges and outlines future research directions to enhance green synthesis strategies and expand the biomedical and sustainable applications of carbon dots.
