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

Materials exhibiting up-conversion room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) with multi-emissive properties in aqueous solutions hold significant potential for optical imaging and sensing applications. However, achieving such photophysical materials within a molecular emitter remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we report a series of single-molecule chromophores demonstrating aqueous tunable up-conversion RTP and fluorescence dual emission. The RTP and fluorescence emission could be finely adjusted by manipulating the excitation wavelength within the visible and near-infrared range, enabling dynamic color modulation across the entire visible spectrum from blue to orange-red. Furthermore, we utilized the up-conversion RTP capability of a single-molecular emitter to achieve two-photon and time-resolved imaging. More importantly, through ratiometric regulation of phosphorescence by temperature combined with stable fluorescence as an internal reference, the RTP molecule enabled reliable temperature sensing in living cells. This study unveils a highly efficient strategy for fabricating intelligent organic RTP materials and sensors featuring dynamically controlled multi-emission.
