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

Bioluminescence imaging is a sensitive and noninvasive technique for monitoring molecular and cellular processes in living systems. NanoLuc is one of the brightest and most widely used luciferase enzymes; however, the native blue emission of NanoLuc limits its applications due to poor sample penetration. NanoBiT, a split luciferase reporter derived from NanoLuc, consists of two subunits: LgBiT and HiBiT. Herein, we leverage bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) to red-shift the emission of NanoBiT by chemically labeling the N-terminus of HiBiT with fluorescent probes. Upon association of HiBiT and LgBiT, the appended fluorophores emit red-shifted light. When LgBiT is genetically encoded on the surface of mammalian cells, each probe produces unique emission profiles that can be distinguished by spectral phasor analysis microscopy. Moreover, by conjugating HiBiT peptides to fluorescent quantum dots, we extended BRET emission into the near-infrared. This modular system allows easy synthesis, rapid color switching, and tunable emission across the visible to near-infrared spectrum, providing a versatile platform for multicolor bioluminescence imaging.
