Multiple hydrogen-bonding induced nonconventional red fluorescence emission in hydrogels.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
The development of unconventional long-wavelength fluorescent polymer hydrogels without using polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or extended π-conjugation is a fundamental challenge in luminescent materials owing to a lack of understanding regarding the spatial interactions induced inherent clustering-triggered emission under water-rich conditions. Inspired by the color change of protein astaxanthin as a result of heat-induced denaturation, we propose a thermodynamically driven strategy to develop red fluorescence (~610 nm) by boiling multiple hydrogen-bonded poly(N-acryloylsemicarbazide) hydrogels in a water bath. We reveal that thermodynamically driven conformational changes of polymer chains from isolated hydrogen bonding donor-acceptor structures to through-space interaction structures induce intrinsic fluorescence shifts from blue to red during clustering-triggered emission. The proposed multiple hydrogen-bonding supramolecular hydrogel shows good fluorescence stability, mechanical robustness, and 3D printability for customizable shaping. We provide a viable method to prepare nonconventional long-wavelength fluorescent hydrogels towards soft fluorescent devices without initially introducing any fluorescent components.
