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

The distinct molecular states - single molecule, assembly, and aggregate - of two ionic macromolecules, TPPE-APOSS and TPE-APOSS, are easily distinguishable through their tunable fluorescence emission wavelengths, which reflect variations in intermolecular distances. Both ionic macromolecules contain aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active moieties whose emission wavelengths are directly correlated to their mutual distances in solution: far away from each other as individual molecules, maintaining a tunable and relatively long distance in electrostatic interactions-controlled blackberry-type assemblies (microphase separation), or approaching van der Waals close distance in aggregates (macrophase separation). Furthermore, within the blackberry assemblies, the emission wavelength decreases monotonically with increasing assembly size, indicative of shorter intermolecular distances at nanoscale. The emission changes of TPPE-APOSS blackberry assemblies can even be visually distinguishable by eyes when their sizes and intermolecular distances are tuned. Molecular dynamics simulations further revealed that macromolecules are confined in various conformations by controllable intermolecular distances within the blackberry structure, thereby resulting in fluorescence emission with tunable wavelength.
