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

Detecting biothiols like glutathione (GSH), homocysteine (Hcy), and cysteine (Cys) is key to understanding their roles in health and disease. We developed BT-DNBS, a cyanine-based turn-on fluorescent probe with a dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNBS) quencher group. Upon biothiol interaction, the quencher is cleaved, restoring fluorescence. The resulting probe BT-NH shows a maximum emission wavelength at 630 nm and a large Stokes shift (≈200 nm), enhancing detection accuracy. Low cytotoxicity and high time resolution make BT-DNBS suitable for live-cell imaging. Imaging of A431 cells confirmed intracellular biothiol detection, with NEM pre-treatment reducing fluorescence, verifying specificity. BT-DNBS holds promise for biomedical research, particularly in disease diagnostics.
