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

Organic polymethine fluorophores with emission in the NIR-II window (1000-1700 nm) are receiving enormous attention in biomolecular medicine and bioimaging, attributed to the high absorption coefficients, bright NIR-II emission, excellent biocompatibility, and molecule adjustability. Recently, researchers have devoted significant effort to designing and improving NIR-II polymethine fluorophores and making notable progress in the NIR-II fluorescence imaging performance. This review summarizes recent developments in the molecular engineering design mentality of polymethine fluorophores and probes and highlights their extensive bioimaging and biosensing applications. Furthermore, we elucidate the potential challenges and perspectives of these NIR-II polymethine dyes in chemical and biomedicine imaging, which may stimulate the further development of high-performance NIR-II polymethine dye contrast agents for their future clinical applications.
