Humic Acid-Derived Carbon Dots Promote Soybean Growth via Enhancing Photosynthesis and Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation.

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
Carbon dots (CDs), as a class of carbon-based nanomaterials have been confirmed to have great potential in promoting crop growth, but its molecular mechanism remains largely unknown. In this study, novel soluble humic acid- derived CDs (HA-CDs) was developed and it could promote soybean growth and symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) within a certain concentration range, which significantly lowered than the precursor. Further biochemical and molecular-level analyses revealed that this growth- and SNF-promoting effects of HA-CDs was mainly due to improving the photosynthesis, regulating C/N metabolism and antioxidant enzyme activity of host, and enhancing rhizobial growth and its symbiotic ability with soybeans that depended on the genes rsh and rpoZ. This study provided significant advance in our understanding of the molecular mechanism of HA-CDs on legume growth and nitrogen fixation, as well as the potential application value of HA-CDs in agriculture system.
