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

The color palette of genetically encoded fluorescent protein indicators (GEFPIs) has expanded rapidly in recent years. GEFPIs with excitation and emission within the "optical window" above 600 nm are expected to be superior in many aspects, such as enhanced tissue penetration, reduced autofluorescence and scattering, and lower phototoxicity. Circular permutation of fluorescent proteins (FPs) is often the first step in the process of developing single-FP-based GEFPIs. This study explored the tolerance of two far-red FPs, mMaroon1 and mCarmine, towards circular permutation. Several initial constructs were built according to previously reported circularly permuted topologies for other FP analogs. Mutagenesis was then performed on these constructs and screened for fluorescent variants. As a result, five circularly permuted far-red FPs (cpFrFPs) with excitation and emission maxima longer than 600 nm were identified. Some displayed appreciable brightness and efficient chromophore maturation. These cpFrFPs variants could be intriguing starting points to further engineer far-red GEFPIs for in vivo tissue imaging.
