One stone, three birds: one AIEgen with three colors for fast differentiation of three pathogens.
Article in Chemical science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Visually identifying pathogens favors rapid diagnosis at the point-of-care testing level. Here, we developed a microenvironment-sensitive aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen), namely IQ-Cm, for achieving fast discrimination of Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria and fungi by the naked-eye. With a twisted donor-acceptor and multi-rotor structure, IQ-Cm shows twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) and AIE properties with sensitive fluorescence color response to the microenvironment of pathogens. Driven by the intrinsic structural differences of pathogens, IQ-Cm with a cationic isoquinolinium moiety and a membrane-active coumarin unit as the targeting and interacting groups selectively locates in different sites of three pathogens and gives three naked-eye discernible emission colors. Gram-negative bacteria are weak pink, Gram-positive bacteria are orange-red and fungi are bright yellow. Therefore, based on their distinctive fluorescence response, IQ-Cm can directly discriminate the three pathogens at the cell level under a fluorescence microscope. Furthermore, we demonstrated the feasibility of IQ-Cm as a visual probe for fast diagnosis of urinary tract infections, timely monitoring of hospital-acquired infection processes and fast detection of molds in the food field. This simple visualization strategy based on one single AIEgen provides a promising platform for rapid pathogen detection and point-of-care diagnosis.
