Plant beneficial properties of carbon quantum dots synthesized from rice husk through green technology.

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
In this study, rice husk-based carbon quantum dots (RCQDs) were synthesized and characterized by using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transmission Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence, zeta potential, and fluorescence lifetime analysis. The RCQDs synthesized were further identified to be spherical in shape with 5 nm size and were also amorphous with a strong photoluminescence at 410 nm, along with abundant oxygen-containing functional groups. Upon interaction with the rice seeds, the RCQDs were found to significantly enhance the seed germination, seedling vigor, and growth parameters. In addition, under the induced drought condition ( - 1.2 MPa PEG), the RCQD treated rice seedlings were found to have enhanced shoot (~ two fold) and root length, increased chlorophyll content, and a significant enhancement in the antioxidant activity when compared to the untreated controls. Further elemental analysis could demonstrate the improved mobilization of macronutrients and elevated uptake of key micronutrients such as sodium, zinc, and iron in rice due to RCQD treatment. The same was also observed to confer the resistance to rice from biotic stress caused by Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13205-025-04454-8.
