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

High spatial resolution, low background, and deep tissue penetration have made near-infrared II (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging one of the most critical tools for in vivo observation and measurement. However, the relatively short retention time and potential toxicity of synthetic NIR-II fluorophores limit their long-term application. Here, we report the use of infrared fluorescent proteins (iRFPs) as in vitro and in vivo NIR-II probes permitting prolonged continuous imaging (up to 15 months). As a representative example, iRFP713 is knocked into the mouse genome to generate a transgenic model to allow temporal and/or spatial expression control of the probe. To demonstrate its feasibility in a genuine diagnostic context, we adopt two liver regeneration models and successfully track the process for a week. The performance and monitoring efficacy are comparable to those of μCT and superior to those of indocyanine green dye. We are also able to effectively observe the pancreas, despite its deep location, under both physiological and pathological conditions. These results indicate that the iRFP-assisted NIR-II fluorescence system is suitable for monitoring various tissues and in vivo biological processes, providing a powerful noninvasive long-term imaging platform.
