Indocarbocyanine-Indodicarbocyanine (sCy3-sCy5) Absorptive Interactions in Conjugates and DNA Duplexes.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Sulfonated indocyanines 3 and 5 (sCy3, sCy5) are widely used to label biomolecules. Their high molar absorption coefficients and lack of spectral overlap with biopolymers make them ideal as linker components for rapid assessment of bioconjugate stoichiometry. We recently found that the determination of the sCy3:sCy5 molar ratio in a conjugate from its optical absorption spectrum is not straightforward, as the sCy3:sCy5 absorbance ratio at the maxima tends to be larger than expected. In this work, we have investigated this phenomenon in detail by studying the spectral properties of a series of sCy3-sCy5 conjugates in which the dyes are separated by linkers of various lengths, including DNA duplexes. It was found that when sCy3 and sCy5 are located in close proximity, they consistently exhibit an "abnormal" absorbance ratio. However, when the two dyes are separated by long rigid DNA-based spacers, the absorbance ratio becomes consistent with their individual molar absorption coefficients. This phenomenon should be taken into account when assessing the molar ratio of the dyes by UV-Vis spectroscopy.
