Dimerizing Heptamethine Cyanine Fluorophores from the Meso Position: Synthesis, Optical Properties, and Metal Sensing Studies.
Article in Organic letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
A series of eight dimeric heptamethine cyanine fluorophores were synthesized, purified, and produced in moderate yields by connecting two heptamethine dyes from their meso position. Their physicochemical properties were predicted, and their optical properties and photothermal stability were studied. They showed selective absorbance and fluorescence quenching in the presence of copper(II) ions. This study serves as a basis for exploring the effects of dimerization of heptamethine cyanine fluorophores and their potential use for various biomedical applications.
