Environmental detection of amoxicillin using a molecularly imprinted graphene oxide-polyethylenimine electrochemical sensor.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Amoxicillin (AMX), a widely used β-lactam antibiotic, is frequently detected in surface waters due to its high consumption and limited metabolic degradation. Its environmental presence contributes to the spread of antibiotic resistance and poses risks to aquatic ecosystems and public health, highlighting the need for efficient monitoring tools. In this work, we report the development of a novel, low-cost, and highly selective electrochemical sensor for the indirect detection of amoxicillin, based on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with graphene oxide (GO) functionalized by a molecularly imprinted polyethyleneimine polymer (GO-MIP). The GO-PEI composite was synthesized via epoxide ring-opening chemistry and imprinted with AMX to generate selective recognition cavities. The sensor's performance was characterized using cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The proposed GO-MIP sensor exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity for AMX, with a linear detection range from 10 nM to 1 mM, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.52 µM in standard solutions and 5.06 µM in environmental water samples. The proposed sensor represents the first application of a molecularly imprinted polyethyleneimine-functionalized graphene oxide composite for AMX detection. It combines low cost, ease of fabrication, and high selectivity, making it a promising proof of concept platform for environmental monitoring of antibiotic contaminants.
