Progress in the Study of Extraction Methods and Pharmacological Effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Derived Carbon Dots.
Review in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Traditional Chinese medicine-derived carbon dots (TCM-CDs) are prepared by top-down or bottom-up synthesis methods using TCM or their active ingredients as precursors, and the size of TCM-CDs is usually less than 10 nm. It has the advantages of easy preparation, low toxicity, and high compatibility. Compared with traditional Chinese medicines, it shows more outstanding performance in antioxidant, hemostatic, antibacterial, and other aspects, thus having good development prospects. This paper systematically reviews the synthesis methods of carbon dots, focusing on the influence of different traditional Chinese medicine precursors on the formation of carbon dots during the processing process, and analyzes the performance of carbon dots in enhancing the efficacy of original medicinal materials, exerting multi-target synergistic effects, improving bioavailability, and generating new medicinal effects. It is expected to provide a theoretical basis and reference direction for the in-depth research and development of traditional Chinese medicine carbon dots in the field of medicinal value.
