Not so innocent: Impact of fluorophore chemistry on the in vivo properties of bioconjugates.
Review in Current opinion in chemical biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 40 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The combination of targeting ligands and fluorescent dyes is a powerful strategy to observe cell types and tissues of interest. Conjugates of peptides, proteins, and, in particular, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) exhibit excellent tumor targeting in various contexts. This approach has been translated to a clinical setting to provide real-time molecular insights during the surgical resection of solid tumors. A critical element of this approach is the generation of highly fluorescent bioconjugates that maintain the properties of the parent targeting ligand. A number of studies have found that fluorophores can dramatically impact the pharmacokinetic and tumor-targeting properties of the bioconjugates they are meant to only innocently observe. In this review, we summarize several examples of these effects and highlight strategies that have been used to mitigate them. These include the application of site-specific labeling chemistries, modulating label density, and altering the structure of the fluorescent probe itself. In particular, we point out the significant potential of fluorophores with hydrophilic but net-neutral structures. Overall, this review highlights recent progress in refining the in vivo properties of fluorescent bioconjugates, and we hope, will inform future efforts in this area.
