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

Highly fluorescent 2D MoS2-x nanosheets exhibiting intense blue emission were synthesized using a green chemistry approach, utilizing DES as both the reaction medium and a surface passivating agent. The material was synthesized via a hydrothermal method, followed by ultrasonication-assisted exfoliation to yield ultrathin nanosheets with enhanced photoluminescence properties. The 2D MoS2-x nanosheets demonstrated strong fluorescence at λem = 420 nm when excited at λex = 330 nm. These nanosheets were employed as a fluorescence probe for the detection of the calcium channel blocker drug nifedipine (NIF) via a fluorescence quenching mechanism. Upon addition of NIF, the fluorescence of the 2D MoS2-x nanosheets was quenched due to electron transfer from the nanosheets to the electron-deficient NIF molecules, combined with the inner filter effect (IFE). The nanosheets enabled highly sensitive and selective detection of NIF, with photoluminescence spectroscopy revealing a broad linear detection range of 0.6-360 nM (R2 = 0.993) and an exceptionally low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.40 nM. The system showed high selectivity toward NIF over structurally similar compounds, drugs, and common metal ions. The sensor was effectively applied for the detection of NIF in urine and Lotus Pond water samples, highlighting its potential for practical pharmacological monitoring. This study presents a sustainable and effective approach for fabricating DES-assisted 2D nanosheets for trace-level analyte detection.
