Polarization-resolved femtosecond Vis/IR spectroscopy tailored for resolving weak signals in biological samples using minimal sample volume.
Article in FEBS open bio, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Photoreceptor proteins have a variety of functions and properties that are utilized in cells. The starting point is the absorption of light by a chromophore, triggering a cascade of specific reactions in the protein lasting from femtoseconds to seconds. To understand the individual early reaction steps, we need to trace the ultrafast structural dynamics. In this report, we present our approach towards improving the signal-to-noise ratio in polarization-resolved transient infrared (IR) spectroscopy, enabling such measurements. We outline our polarization-resolved ultrafast visible (Vis)-pump/IR-probe spectroscopy setup using IR referencing. The setup is tailored towards tracing small signals of photo-degrading biological samples (e.g. site-specific mutant proteins, that are available only in limited quantities). We provide a comprehensive overview on characterizing the excitation conditions for polarization resolved measurements. The obtained spectra allow for direct tracing of reaction dynamics and conformational changes of molecular groups within the chromophore, protein side chains and hydrogen-bond network.
