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

Cyanines comprise a diverse group of small-molecule polymethine dyes combining tunable optical properties with high molar absorptivity and fluorescence emission quantum yield, enabling various applications in bioimaging, diagnostics, molecular electronics, photonics, and nonlinear optics. These applications can be facilitated by adjusting the length of their polymethine chain and their functionalization through their end groups or the polymethine chain. Yet, the latter approach remains largely unexplored, with limited information scattered throughout literature. This review focuses on cyanines substituted on their chain, covering their synthesis, properties, and applications and providing an overview of how substituents on their polymethine chain influences their spectroscopic properties, akin to other factors, such as polymethine length and end groups. Lastly, this review illustrates how substituents on the polymethine chain facilitate the application of cyanine dyes in promising research areas.
