Highly selective sensing of tetracycline by fluorescent carbon dots derived from spent coffee grounds
Article in RSC advances, 2025. 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
Tetracycline (TC), a widely used broad-spectrum antibiotic, can accumulate in ecosystems through environmental release, posing risks to ecological security and human health. This study presents a green and efficient microwave-assisted method for synthesizing fluorescent carbon quantum dots (B-CQDs) using spent coffee grounds as a precursor. The as-prepared B-CQDs were employed as a fluorescent probe for the highly selective detection of TC in water. Characterization results revealed that the B-CQDs possess good water dispersibility, high fluorescence stability, and a relatively high quantum yield of 11.2%. Under optimal conditions, B-CQDs exhibited a highly selective fluorescence quenching response towards TC, with a linear detection range of 0-140 µmol L
