Development of betalain-immobilized poly(lactic acid)-co-polycaprolactone nanofibrous membrane for detection of NH
Article in Mikrochimica acta, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Colorless ammonia vapor has played a crucial role as an intermediate in various industrial processes. However, exposure to ammonia causes organ damages or even death. In this context, a colorimetric ammonia detector was prepared using an eco-friendly poly(lactic acid)-co-polycaprolactone membrane. Using the scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images, the diameter of the poly(lactic acid)-co-polycaprolactone nanofibers was determined to be 160-305 nm. Betalain (BLN) is a natural spectroscopic probe found in beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.). The betalain dyestuff was immobilized within the nanofibrous membrane using a mordant (potassium aluminum sulfate), resulting in mordant/betalain (M/BLN) coordinated complex nanoparticles. Using transmission electron microscopic (TEM) images, the diameters of M/BLN nanoparticles were monitored in the range 6-22 nm. Exposure to ammonia caused a rapid colorimetric change in the betalain-containing membrane from red to yellow, which was proved by using absorbance spectra and the CIE Lab colorimetric parameters. This color change is attributed to an intramolecular charge delocalization on the BLN molecule. Ammonia caused a hypsochromic behavior in the absorbance spectra from 601 nm to 426 nm, designating an isosbestic wavelength of 491 nm. The poly(lactic acid)-co-polycaprolactone membrane has shown a detection limit of 1-250 ppm NH
