Molecular Fluorophores for Deep-Tissue Bioimaging.
Review in ACS central science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 62 papers.
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.
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
Fluorescence imaging has made tremendous inroads toward understanding the complexity of biological systems, but in vivo deep-tissue imaging remains a great challenge due to the optical opacity of biological tissue. Recent improvements in laser and detector manufacturing have allowed the expansion of nonlinear and linear fluorescence imaging to the underexplored "tissue-transparent" second near-infrared (NIR-II; 1000-1700 nm) window, opening up new opportunities for optical access deep inside opaque tissue. Molecular fluorophores have historically played a major role in fluorescence bioimaging. It is increasingly important to design new molecular fluorophores to fully unlock the potential of NIR-II imaging techniques. In this outlook, we give an overview of the novel molecular fluorophores developed for deep-tissue bioimaging in the past five years and discuss their pros and cons in applications. Guidelines for designing new molecular fluorophores with the desirable properties are also provided.
