Carbon dots as a versatile tool to monitor insulin aggregation.
Article in Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The possibility to monitor peptide and protein aggregation is of paramount importance in the so-called conformational diseases, as the understanding of many physiological pathways, as well as pathological processes involved in the development of such diseases, depends very much on the actual possibility to monitor biomolecule oligomeric distribution and aggregation. In this work, we report a novel experimental method to monitor protein aggregation, based on the change of the fluorescent properties of carbon dots upon protein binding. The results obtained in the case of insulin with this newly proposed experimental approach are compared with those obtained with other common experimental techniques normally used for the same purpose (circular dichroism, DLS, PICUP and ThT fluorescence). The greatest advantage of the hereby presented methodology over all the other experimental methods considered is the possibility to monitor the initial stages of insulin aggregation under the different experimental conditions sampled and the absence of possible disturbances and/or molecular probes during the aggregation process.
