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

Formaldehyde (FA) is a common environmental toxin that is also produced naturally in the body through a wide range of metabolic and epigenetic processes, motivating the development of new technologies to monitor this reactive carbonyl species (RCS) in living systems. Herein, we report a pair of first-generation chemiluminescent probes for selective formaldehyde detection. Caging phenoxy-dioxetane scaffolds bearing different electron-withdrawing groups with a general 2-aza-Cope reactive formaldehyde trigger provides chemiluminescent formaldehyde probes 540 and 700 (CFAP540 and CFAP700) for visible and near-IR detection of FA in living cells and mice, respectively. In particular, CFAP700 is capable of visualizing FA release derived from endogenous folate metabolism, providing a starting point for the use of CFAPs and related chemical tools to probe FA physiology and pathology, as well as for the development of a broader palette of chemiluminescent activity-based sensing (ABS) probes that can be employed from in vitro biochemical to cell to animal models.
