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

Hepatobiliary and renal excretions are the two major in vivo elimination pathways, of which prediction is particularly important for the optimization of systemic and/or target-site exposure of new near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent contrast agents. To characterize the physicochemical descriptors associated with each clearance route, a compound library containing more than 760 NIR fluorophores is analyzed and systematically reviewed in this study. Although there are a host of biochemical and physiological mechanisms that ultimately determine the in vivo fate of any given molecule, the physicochemical properties of contrast agents including molecular weight, hydrophobicity, topological polar surface area, molecular charges, and hydrogen/rotatable bonds are often indicative of each clearance route. The approach developed is anticipated to be useful in early lead identification studies when selecting NIR fluorescent contrast agents from large database screenings. It may also be applied to prioritize synthetically feasible chemical modifications during lead compound optimization.
