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

Boramidine is a small water-soluble organic fluorophore that was recently introduced as a versatile building block of fluorescent probes. Herein, we show that boramidine is protonated in highly protic solvents. This behaviour explains the surprisingly large difference in the absorption spectrum reported previously when going from an organic to an aqueous environment. Transient absorption measurements reveal that the invariance of the fluorescence spectrum to the environment arises from an excited-state proton transfer to the solvent occurring a few ps after photoexcitation of the protonated boramidine. This photoacidity of boramidine is a further add-on to the polyvalence of this fluorophore.
