Multiplexed Fiber-Optic Fluorescence for Functional Monitoring of Perfused Hearts.
Article in Analytical chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Monitoring molecular dynamics in the heart is essential for advancing our understanding of cardiac physiology and biochemistry in both healthy and diseased states, as well as for guiding the development and evaluation of novel cardiac therapies. We present a multiexcitation, ratiometric fiber-optic spectroscopic platform for noninvasive, real-time monitoring of biochemical and physiological processes in isolated Langendorff-perfused rat hearts. The system employs a fiber-optic balloon probe capable of concurrent optical measurements and intraventricular pressure sensing, thereby providing complementary physiological data. A multiedge bandpass filter enables parallel fluorescence spectroscopy, allowing simultaneous detection and analysis of both exogenous and endogenous fluorophores. Coupled with multivariate regression analysis, we demonstrate the accurate quantification of fluorophore concentrations, facilitating comprehensive assessment of cardiac biochemical and functional dynamics. To mitigate geometric variability and motion artifacts, we developed a robust ratiometric approach using paired fluorescence agents. We demonstrate the system's capability by employing the fluorescent lipophilic cation tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester (TMRE) as a noninvasive biomarker for mitochondrial membrane potential, extracting physiologically relevant metrics. This platform enables sensitive assessment of cardiac function with established fluorescent probes and holds promising potential as a versatile tool for investigating the dynamics of novel fluorophores.
