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

backgroundNear infrared (NIR) environment-sensitive fluorophores are highly desired for many biomedical applications because of its non-invasive operation, high sensitivity and specificity, non-ionizing radiation and deep penetration in biological tissue. When the fluorophores are appropriately encapsulated in or conjugated with some thermal-sensitive polymers, they could work as excellent temperature-sensing probes.

methodsIn this study, we synthesized and characterized a series of NIR temperature-switchable nanoparticles based on two series of NIR fluorophores aza-BODIPY (ADP is used for abbreviation in this work) and Zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and four pluronic polymers (F127, F98, F68 and F38). Encapsulating the fluorophores in the polymers by sonication, we synthesized the nanoparticles that showed switch-like functions of the fluorescence intensity (and/or lifetime) as the temperature, with high switch on-to-off ratio. We also investigated various factors that might change the temperature thresholds (T

resultsThese nanoparticles showed excellent temperature-switchable properties of fluorescence intensity and/or lifetime. Meanwhile, some factors (i.e., pluronic categories and nanoparticles' concentration) significantly affected the nanoparticles' T

conclusionsBy selecting appropriate pluronic categories and adjusting the nanoparticle's concentration, we can synthesize the nanoparticles with a wide range of T
