1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) were efficiently synthesized by a one-step microwave-assisted method using diphenylamine as a carbon precursor. The obtained CDs exhibit high stability and strong water solubility. Under UV irradiation, these CDs could emit bright green photoluminescence. These synthesized CDs have an average diameter of 1.8 nm (±0.46) and quantum yield (QY) as high as 44.69% using rhodamine-B as a reference. The CDs' intensity can be quantitatively quenched by Hg
