Polydopamine based ion-selective nanosensor for electrolyte sensing.
Article in Mikrochimica acta, 2026. 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
Ion-selective nanosensors enable ions monitoring in live cells, yet most existing optode platforms rely on limited matrix materials with constrained functionalization and stability. Here, polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles were integrated with ionophore based ion selective sensing principle to generate stable, tunable nanosensors for potassium (K⁺) and calcium (Ca²⁺) detection. The PDA matrix enhanced sensitivity through its negatively charged microenvironment and enabled straightforward surface functionalization with cysteamine and glutathione to promote cellular interaction and uptake. The nanosensors exhibited broad dynamic ranges (0.1 mM-0.1 M for K⁺ and 1 µM-0.1 M for Ca²⁺), high selectivity over competing ions, excellent colloidal stability, and minimal cytotoxicity. Importantly, PDA-based nanosensors enabled real-time visualization of intracellular K⁺ dynamics in live cells. These results establish PDA as a promising and adaptable matrix for next-generation ion-selective nanosensors in biological environments.
