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

Chiroptical switches exhibit stimuli-induced changes in the sign or strength of their circular dichroism (CD) or circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) and are materials with significant potential for chiroptical sensing and biological imaging. However, the chromophores used in chiroptical materials usually require excitation by ultraviolet or visible light, which results in higher cytotoxicity and lower penetration compared to near-infrared (NIR) photoexcitation. This can be overcome by multiphoton excitation, yet multiphoton CPL (MP-CPL) has been challenging to measure in organic emitters. Core-twisted perylene diimides (PDIs) are excellent chromophores with which to develop MP-CPL emitters due to a chiral π-system capable of two-photon absorption. Furthermore, the integration of these chiral PDIs into stimuli-responsive macrocycles affords configurational stability and the potential for chiroptical switching, due to the chromophore's tuneable chiral conformation. In this work we report a chiral bis-PDI macrocycle with stable, yet conformationally dynamic, enantiomers, and in doing so realize a novel chiroptical material that combines switchable CD and MP-CPL for the first time.
