Molecular afterglow imaging for biomedical applications.
Review in Nature materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Afterglow imaging is an emerging optical modality using agents that emit long-lasting luminescence after excitation ceases to eliminate tissue autofluorescence and improve signal-to-background ratios, achieving high imaging sensitivity and deep tissue penetration. Here we review recent advances in molecular afterglow imaging for biomedical applications, highlighting the materials and mechanisms involved in afterglow imaging modalities induced by light, ultrasound and ionizing radiation, termed photoafterglow, sonoafterglow and radioafterglow, respectively. We describe strategies to modulate the lifetime, intensity and wavelength of afterglow materials and principles for designing afterglow imaging probes that feature biomarker-activatable signal readouts and optimal biophysical properties for in vivo applications. We also highlight the applications of afterglow materials in disease diagnosis, imaging-guided therapy and in vitro diagnostics, and discuss the current challenges in the clinical translation of these technologies.
