Bioinspired quantum dots: advancing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in breast cancer.
Review in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Bioinspired quantum dots (BQDs) have garnered significant attention in recent years because of their unique characteristics, including their nanoscale size (less than 10 nm), high surface area, photoluminescence, chemical stability, and ease of synthesis and functionalization. Researchers are increasingly shifting towards the use of biomass-derived precursors instead of chemical compounds for BQD fabrication. These biomass sources are sustainable, eco-friendly, cost effective, widely available, and enable the conversion of waste into valuable materials. In this review, we provide a comprehensive analysis of various fabrication methodologies for BQDs, and the diverse raw materials used in recent studies. Owing to their exceptional properties, combined with simple synthesis routes, BQDs are promising candidates for a range of biomedical applications, particularly in bioimaging, targeted drug delivery, and phototherapy for cancer treatment. BQDs exhibit excellent aqueous solubility, low toxicity, biocompatibility, facile biofunctionalization, and selective cancer targeting. Furthermore, their photoluminescent properties, high longitudinal relaxation values, photothermal effects upon laser irradiation, ability to generate singlet oxygen, and production of H
