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

We report a synthetic route to BODIPY-cholesterol conjugates in which the key steps were Suzuki or Liebeskind-Srogl cross-coupling of cholesterol phenyl moieties with structurally diverse BODIPY scaffolds. All conjugates feature single-bonded and hydrophobic linkages between the fluorophore and sterol that are devoid of heteroatoms. Using HeLa cells, we show that these BODIPY-cholesterol analogues can be used simultaneously with the parent BODIPY-cholesterol for cell imaging and flow cytometry. The BODIPY-cholesterol analogues exhibit similar cellular localization in HeLa cells and show similar cholesterol efflux properties from THP-1 cells to HDL acceptors. These results demonstrate that the red-shifted BODIPY-cholesterol analogues behave in a manner similar to unlabeled cholesterol and are useful probes for simultaneous visualization of intracellular cholesterol pools and for monitoring cholesterol efflux from cells to extracellular acceptors.
