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

In vivo fluorescence imaging in the shortwave infrared (SWIR, 1,000-1,700 nm) and extended SWIR (ESWIR, 1,700-2,700 nm) regions has tremendous potential for diagnostic imaging. Although image contrast has been shown to improve as longer wavelengths are accessed, the design and synthesis of organic fluorophores that emit in these regions is challenging. Here we synthesize a series of silicon-RosIndolizine (SiRos) fluorophores that exhibit peak emission wavelengths from 1,300-1,700 nm and emission onsets of 1,800-2,200 nm. We characterize the fluorophores photophysically (both steady-state and time-resolved), electrochemically and computationally using time-dependent density functional theory. Using two of the fluorophores (SiRos1300 and SiRos1550), we formulate nanoemulsions and use them for general systemic circulatory SWIR fluorescence imaging of the cardiovascular system in mice. These studies resulted in high-resolution SWIR images with well-defined vasculature visible throughout the entire circulatory system. This SiRos scaffold establishes design principles for generating long-wavelength emitting SWIR and ESWIR fluorophores.
