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

Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent reporters open interesting perspectives for multiplexed imaging with higher contrast and depth using less toxic light. Here, we propose nirFAST, a small (14 kDa) chemogenetic NIR fluorescent reporter, displaying higher cellular brightness compared to top-performing NIR fluorescent proteins. nirFAST binds and stabilizes the fluorescent state of synthetic cell permeant fluorogenic chromophores (so-called fluorogens), otherwise dark when free. nirFAST displays tunable NIR, far-red or red emission through change of fluorogen. nirFAST allows imaging and spectral multiplexing in live cultured mammalian cells, chicken embryo tissues and zebrafish larvae. Its suitability for stimulated emission depletion nanoscopy enabled protein imaging with subdiffraction resolution in live cells. nirFAST enabled the design of a two-color cell cycle indicator for monitoring the different phases of the cell cycle. Finally, bisection of nirFAST allowed the design of a chemically induced dimerization technology with NIR fluorescence readout, enabling the control and visualization of protein proximity.
