A series of caged fluorophores for calibrating light intensity.
Article in Chemical science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Absolute measurement of light intensity is sought for in multiple areas of chemistry, biology, physics, and engineering. It can be achieved by using an actinometer from analyzing the time-course of its reaction extent on applying constant light. However, most reported actinometers exploit the absorbance observable for reporting the reaction extent, which is not very sensitive nor relevant in imaging systems. In this work, we report a series of hydrophobic and hydrophilic caged fluorophores that overcome the preceding limitations. Based on the robust pyranine backbone, they can easily be synthesized on a large scale in one to a few steps. Their brightness increases over illumination and their uncaging cross-sections have been thoroughly characterized upon one- and two-photon excitation. As a demonstration of their use, we calibrated light intensity in various chemical and biological samples, which have been observed with epifluorescence and confocal imaging systems.
