Carbon dots as photosensitizers: unraveling their ultrafast charge transfer, challenges, and future prospects.
Review in Nanoscale advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Carbon dots (C-dots) have emerged as highly promising light-harvesting materials, particularly as photosensitizers, due to their eco-friendliness, biocompatibility, and cost-efficiency. Their adaptability as photosensitizers has garnered widespread attention, marking them as pivotal materials for future technological innovations. One of the key attributes of C-dots is their dual functionality in charge transfer, enabling them to serve as both electron donors and acceptors. This charge transfer process between C-dots and small organic molecules as quenchers plays a critical role in diverse applications such as photocatalysis, sensing, and optoelectronics. In this perspective, we have discussed the capability of C-dots in confined environments, doped C-dots, C-dots/molecular hybrids, and perovskite/C-dots composites as photosensitizers. This perspective includes the origin of fluorescence and carrier dynamics in full colour light-emitting C-dots, followed by a novel way to control the photosensitizer capability of C-dots
