Nanocircularity in Agriculture with BioC-Dots: Vinasse-Derived Carbon-Dots and Their Usage as Potential Metal Ion Sensors.
Article in ACS omega, 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
The sugar cane refining industry is crucial in producing sugar and biofuel ethanol. However, as demand for these products has grown, so has the generation of waste, with vinasse emerging as the primary pollutant. This study investigates the potential of utilizing vinasse as a raw material to produce carbon dots (BioC-dots), a high-value product. Application of the synthesized BioC-dots in metal ion detection is yet to be explored. Luminescent nanocarbons (BioC-dots) were successfully synthesized from vinasse using a green synthesis method and characterized through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging, UV-vis spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy, which revealed a quantum yield ranging from 2.5% to 19%. TG-DTA curves and FTIR spectra revealed a remarkable thermal behavior and main functional groups of the surface of nanocarbon. The interaction of metals with BioC-dots in solution demonstrated their potential as effective sensors for cobalt and zinc ions in aqueous environments, showing detection limits of 13.57 and 18.22 mmol L
