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

Tetracycline residues in aquatic ecosystems, resulting from widespread antibiotic use, pose significant risks by fostering antibiotic resistance and threatening ecological and human health. Addressing the need for rapid, sensitive, and portable tetracycline detection, this study presents a novel device utilizing iron-coordinated carbon dots (CDs-Fe) derived from Chromolaena odorata as a peroxidase-mimic nanozyme. Synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method, the CDs-Fe nanozyme exhibits enhanced catalytic activity, enabling a colorimetric assay with 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). Tetracycline detection relies on the nanozyme's peroxidase-like activity, where tetracycline competitively inhibits TMB oxidation, reducing the absorbance at 652 nm due to surface adhesion and substrate competition. The assay achieves a detection limit of 1.34 μM and a linear range of 17 to 67 μM. A portable Arduino-based device, fabricated via 3D printing with smartphone-enabled Bluetooth data reading, was developed for on-site tetracycline monitoring in real water samples, showing recoveries of 95 to 102% and high selectivity against other antibiotics. Validated against UV-vis spectrophotometry, this green-synthesized, cost-effective system offers a sustainable and field-deployable solution for environmental water quality assessment.
