Zinc-doped carbon dots for hypochlorite ultrasensitive determination: from aqueous monitoring to live-cells imaging.
Article in Mikrochimica acta, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
To overcome the limitations of conventional detection methods for Hypochlorite (ClO⁻), bright blue-emitting zinc-doped carbon dots (Zn-CDs) were constructed via a streamlined and rapid hydrothermal method (within 2 h). The Zn-CDs possessed excellent water dispersibility and physicochemical stability with a quantum yield (QY) of 10.05%. Based on the Zn-O coordination structure could provide specific binding sites for ClO⁻, the Zn-CDs as fluorescent probes enabled ultrasensitive and selective detection of ClO⁻ in range of 0.1-50 µM with an exceptionally low limit of detection (LOD) of 8.14 nM. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the fluorescence quenching was attributed to surface oxidation and subsequent electron transfer. Furthermore, the Zn-CDs demonstrated excellent biocompatibility with negligible cytotoxicity and were successfully employed for intracellular fluorescence imaging of both exogenous and endogenous ClO⁻. These finding established the developed Zn-CDs as a powerful and practical analytical platform for environmental water quality monitoring and precision biomedical diagnostics.
