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

Fluorescence microscopy based on fluorochrome has been rapidly developed as the candidate for morphological identification of pathogenic fungi over recent years, offering superior rapidity and efficacy over traditional culture methods. However, the intrinsic quenching properties of fluorescein limit the clinical application of fluorescence imaging. Herein, we report a nano-strategy by converting a commercial fluorescein dye, fluorescent brightener-33 (FB-33), into carbon dots (FB-CDs) through a one-pot hydrothermal method. FB-CDs exhibit a chitin-targeting capacity allowing the selective recognition and ultrafast imaging of fungi within 30 s. The fluorescence quantum yield of FB-CDs is 51.6% which is 8.6-fold higher than that of commercial dye, FB-33. Moreover, FB-CDs also display superstable fluorescence signals under continuous intense light irradiation for 2 h and long-term storage for more than 2 months. The significantly improved photobleaching resistance meets the prolonged fluorescence observation and quantitative analysis of microbial samples. This work offers a novel nanoconversion strategy of commercial dyes for point-of-care testing of pathogenic organisms.
