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

A simple and sensitive fluorescence sensing method was developed for ciprofloxacin (CIP) determination based on manganese-doped carbon dots (Mn-CDs). The Mn-CDs were synthesized through a one-step hydrothermal method using anhydrous citric acid and manganese chloride tetrahydrate as precursors. The prepared Mn-CDs exhibited good dispersibility, uniform nanoscale morphology, abundant surface functional groups and favorable fluorescence properties. The incorporation of Mn was designed to introduce coordination-related binding sites for CIP, thereby enhancing the interaction between Mn-CDs and CIP. Under excitation at 330 nm, the Mn-CDs showed a pronounced fluorescence enhancement response toward CIP, enabling their use as fluorescent probes for quantitative detection. Under the optimized conditions, the fluorescence intensity increased linearly with CIP concentration over the range of 20 nM-10 μM, with a detection limit of 1.12 nM. The proposed sensing system exhibited satisfactory selectivity toward CIP over various potentially interfering substances and good storage stability. The practicality of the method was further verified by analysis of pond water samples, affording recoveries of 86-118% with relative standard deviations below 5%. In addition, the method showed acceptable applicability for CIP determination in different pharmaceutical formulations. These results indicate that the Mn-CD-based fluorescent probe provides a convenient, sensitive and promising platform for CIP determination in environmental and pharmaceutical samples.
