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

Alternaria mycotoxins, alternariol (AOH) and alternariol monomethyl ether (AME), are prevalent contaminants in tomato products posing significant health risks. This work presents a novel fluorometric sensing platform using β-cyclodextrin-functionalized green-emissive carbon dots (β-CD@GCDs) for selective mycotoxin determination through static quenching via host-guest inclusion complex formation. The method exhibited wide linearity (0.5–60.0 ng/mL) with low detection limits (0.15 ng/mL for AOH, 0.18 ng/mL for AME). Practical applicability in tomato paste samples showed excellent recoveries (97.4–100.8%), confirming accuracy in complex matrices. Integration with smartphone-based colorimetric detection enabled rapid on-site screening without sophisticated instrumentation. The validated method successfully monitored AOH and AME levels in tomato paste under varying storage conditions (temperature and time), demonstrating utility as a practical tool for food safety assessment and quality control in the tomato processing industry.
