Sugarcane waste-derived carbon quantum dots-chlorophyll/bacterial cellulose composites for solar-driven antibiotic degradation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A bio-based CQDs-Chl/BC nanocomposite (NCs) was synthesized from sugarcane bagasse, sugarcane leaves, and bacterial cellulose (BC) via a green bio-construction strategy to enhance antibiotic removal through a synergistic adsorption-photocatalysis mechanism. CQDs were prepared by a microwave-assisted method, Chl was extracted from sugarcane leaves, and BC provided a renewable support matrix. The incorporation of CQDs and Chl broadened visible-light absorption and improved charge transfer, as confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, PL, TEM-EDS, and XPS analyses. Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and photoinduced electron transfer (PET) minimized charge recombination, while LC-MS spectra of degradation products identified transient intermediates of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and oxytetracycline (OTC), validating the proposed photocatalytic pathway. Under solar irradiation, the CQDs-Chl/BC NCs achieved near-complete degradation of CIP (98.83 ± 0.46%) and OTC (98.59 ± 0.50%) at 2 mg/L within 180 min, outperforming CQDs/BC (k = 0.01044 min
