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

Long Stokes shift dyes that minimize cross-talk between the excitation source and fluorescent emission to improve the signal-to-background ratio are highly desired for fluorescence imaging. However, simple small molecular dyes with large Stokes shift (more than 120 nanometers) and near-infrared (NIR) emissions have been rarely reported so far. Here, inspired by the chromophore chemical structure of fluorescent proteins, we designed and synthesized a series of styrene oxazolone dyes (SODs) with simple synthetic methods, which show NIR emissions (>650 nanometers) with long Stokes shift (ranged from 136 to 198 nanometers) and small molecular weight (<450 daltons). The most promising SOD9 shows rapid renal excretion and blood-brain barrier passing properties. After functioning with the mitochondrial-targeted triphenylphosphonium (TPP) group, the resulting SOD9-TPP can be engineered for head-neck tumor imaging, fluorescence image-guided surgery, brain neuroimaging, and on-site pathologic analysis. In summary, our findings add an essential small molecular dye category to the classical dyes.
