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

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active cellulose nanocrystals (TPE-CNCs) were synthesized by attaching tetraphenylethylene (TPE) to cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). The structure and morphology of TPE-CNCs were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, ζ-potential measurements, elemental analysis, TEM, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and dynamic laser light scattering (DLS). Fluorescent properties of TPE-CNCs were also further studied. Unlike aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), TPE-CNCs emitted weak fluorescence in the dilute suspensions, while emitting efficiently in the aggregated states. The AIE mechanism of TPE-CNCs was attributed to the restriction of an intramolecular rotation (RIR) process in the aggregated states. TPE-CNCs displayed good dispersity in water and stable fluorescence, which was reported through the specific detection of nitrophenolic explosives in aqueous solutions by a fluorescence quenching assay. The fluorescence emissions of TPE-CNCs showed quantitative and sensitive responses to picric acid (PA), 2,4-dinitro-phenol (DNP), and 4-nitrophenol (NP), and the detection limits were 220, 250, and 520 nM, respectively. Fluorescence quenching occurred through a static mechanism via the formation of a nonfluorescent complex between TPE-CNCs and nitrophenolic analytes. A fluorescence lifetime measurement revealed that the quenching was a static process. The results demonstrated that TPE-CNCs were excellent sensors for the detection of nitrophenolic explosives in aqueous systems, which has great potential applications in chemosensing and bioimaging.
