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 turn-on florescent probe (probe-KCP) was developed for highly selective detection of thiophenols based on a donor-excited photo-induced electron transfer mechanism. Herein, the synthesis of the probe, a chalcone derivative, through a simple straightforward combination of a carbazole-chalcone fluorophore with a 2,4-dinitrophenyl functional group. In a kinetic study of the probe-KCP for thiophenols, the probe displayed a short response time (~30 min) and significant fluorescence enhancement. In selection and competition experiments, the probe-KCP exhibited excellent selectivity for thiophenols over glutathione (GSH), cysteine (Cys), sodium hydrosulfide (NaSH), and ethanethiol (C₂H₅SH) in addition to common anions and metal ions. Using the designed probe, we successfully monitored and quantified thiophenols, which are highly toxic. This turn-on fluorescence probe features a remarkably large Stokes shift (130 nm) and a short response time (30 min), and it is highly selective and sensitive (~160-fold) in the detection of thiophenols, with marked fluorescence in the presence of thiophenols. probe-KCP responds to thiophenols with a good range of linearity (0⁻15 μM) and a detection limit of 28 nM (R² = 0.9946) over other tested species mentioned including aliphatic thiols, thiophenol analogues, common anions, and metal ions. The potential applications of this carbazole-chalcone fluorescent probe was successfully used to determine of thiophenols in real water samples and living cells with good performance and low cytotoxicity. Therefore, this probe has great potential application in environment and biological samples.
