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

Terbium-doped graphene quantum dots (Tb-GQDs) were synthesized using carbonization and surface coordination and subsequently used as efficient fluorescent probes for the quantitative and selective determination of tartrazine in food samples. The doping of terbium enhanced the photostability of GQDs. Photoluminescence emission spectra revealed that the fluorescence of Tb-GQDs was effectively quenched by increasing concentrations of tartrazine, which was attributed to a combination of static quenching and the inner filter effect (IFE). Under optimized conditions, the Tb-GQD probe showed a linear response with a detection limit of 6.7 nM. Tb-GQDs functioned as effective sensor platforms for the selective detection of tartrazine. Analytical studies using commercial food samples demonstrated recovery rates ranging from 97.4 to 101.5%, confirming the reliability and practical applicability of the proposed method. Because of their straightforward synthesis, rapid response, and high sensitivity, Tb-GQDs show strong potential for real-time monitoring of synthetic food colorants such as tartrazine.
