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 shortwave infrared (SWIR) region is an ideal spectral window for next-generation bioimaging to harness improved penetration and reduced phototoxicity. SWIR spectral activity may also be accessed via supramolecular dye aggregation. Unfortunately, development of dye aggregation remains challenging. We propose a crystal-aided aggregate synthesis (CAASH) approach to introduce a layer of rationality for the development of J-aggregate and the successful development of a water-soluble SWIR JV-aggregate with a bisbenzannulated silicon rhodamine scaffold (ESi5). The resulting SWIR-aggregates exhibit excellent stabilities toward organic solvents, pH, sonication, photobleaching, thiols, and endogenous oxidative species. Notably, the aggregates have a high structure-dependent melting temperature of ca. 330-335 K. In fact, the heating/annealing process can be exploited to reduce aggregation disorder. The aggregates are biocompatible and have broad potential in in vivo fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging and more.
