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

Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent dye has been approved by the FDA for use in medical diagnostics. Recently, we demonstrated that ICG dye has voltage-sensitive properties with a dual-component (fast and slow) response in the Langendorff-perfused rabbit heart. Here, we extended our studies by showing the different spectral properties of both components for analysis of the fractional change in ICG fluorescence in response to voltage changes. We used light from four LEDs to obtain excitation; emission was measured using an EMCCD camera with band-pass filters and a spectrometer. We applied a graphical model with Gaussian functions to construct and evaluate the individual emission curves and calculated the voltage-sensitive portion of each component of the ICG fluorescence in the rabbit heart. The results revealed that each isolated component (fast and slow) emanates from a unique ICG pool in a different environment within the cell membrane and that each component is also composed of two constituents (ICG-monomeric and ICG-aggregated). We propose the existence of different voltage-sensitive mechanisms for the components: (I) electrochromism and field-induced reorientation for the fast component; and (II) field-induced dye squeezing that amplifies intermolecular interactions, resulting in self-quenching of the dye fluorescence, for the slow component.
