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

Viscosity and peroxynitrite (ONOO⁻) are critical parameters of the cellular microenvironment, and their abnormal fluctuations are closely associated with the progression of various diseases. Leveraging the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) mechanism, we have designed and synthesized a novel dual-function fluorescent probe (VMI). In this probe, a cyanopyridine moiety is linked to 6-methoxy-2-naphthalene through an unsaturated C = C bond that functions both as the TICT switch for viscosity sensing and as a specific reaction site for ONOO⁻. Under varying viscosity conditions, VMI modulates green fluorescence intensity to visualize changes in viscosity. Concurrently, ONOO⁻-mediated oxidative cleavage of the C = C bond releases a blue-emitting fluorophore, facilitating the monitoring of ONOO⁻ levels. Spectroscopic studies demonstrate that VMI exhibits high selectivity, excellent anti-interference capabilities, a low detection limit of 16.11 nΜ, rapid response time (within 10 min), and minimal cytotoxicity. Live-cell imaging further validates its capacity to simultaneously track dynamic alterations in viscosity and ONOO⁻ levels within biological systems.
