Computational study on B, N, and Si-doped C60 nanocages for acetone detection in heart failure diagnosis and environmental remediation.
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 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
Acetone is a volatile organic compound that acts both as an environmental pollutant and as a biomarker for metabolic disorders such as heart failure. Therefore, early and sensitive detection of acetone is of great importance for environmental monitoring and medical diagnosis. Recent advances in carbon-based nanomaterials, especially C60 fullerene, have shown promise in the development of highly sensitive and selective sensors. Building on this background, the present study aimed to design and theoretically evaluate a pristine C60-based sensor and its doping forms with B, N, Si for acetone detection using density functional theory (DFT) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM). Key parameters including adsorption energy (Eads), recovery time (τ), electrical conductivity (σ), HOMO-LUMO gap (HLG), and dipole moment (μ) were computationally studied. The results show that SiC59 acts as a highly sensitive sensor, exhibiting a strong adsorption energy of - 137.17 kJ mol
