The Dose-Dependent Effect of Carbon Quantum Dots as a Photosynthesis Enhancer on Soybean Plant Growth.
Article in Nanomaterials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
When carbon quantum dots (CDs) are used to enhance photosynthesis, they inevitably enter the plant. However, the dose-dependent effects of CDs on plant growth are poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the dose-dependent effects of CDs on soybean growth. CDs were synthesized from citric acid and urea via a hydrothermal procedure. The analysis of the structure, chemical composition, and optical properties revealed that synthetic CDs have a sphere-like shape with rich hydrophilic groups on their surface. CDs exhibited superior upconverted photoluminescence properties and emitted strong fluorescence (exciting wavelength of 220 nm; emitting wavelength of 438 nm). Various concentrations of synthetic CDs (0-1000 mg L
