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

In this study, carbon quantum dots were synthesized from lemon peel waste (LPCQDs) and were characterized by using UV-vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, HR-TEM, FE-SEM, DLS, ELS, fluorescence lifetime, quantum yield analysis, Raman spectroscopy, in-vitro cytotoxicity, and CHNS analysis. The average size of the LPCQDs synthesised in this study was 2.75 nm, with a quantum yield of 7.4% and a lifetime of 4.48 ns. In addition, the LPCQDs exhibited significant antimicrobial properties against a broad spectrum of clinical pathogens with a zone of inhibition up to 28 mm, an MIC value of 0.94 mg mL
