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

Lipoproteins, critical transporters of cholesterol and triglycerides, are essential to cardiovascular health and pathology. However, imaging probes that can specifically target endogenous lipoproteins in situ are lacking. This study introduces an innovative lipoprotein-seeking near-infrared-II (NIR-II) dye for in vivo imaging of lipid dysregulation diseases independent of immune interactions. This dye demonstrates high affinity and specificity for lipoproteins, enabling in situ selective lipoprotein-seeking within the body, unaffected by other proteins. The lipoprotein-seeking dynamics can be precisely modulated through rationally tuning hydrophilic moieties of dye structure. The lipoprotein-seeking dye enables the real-time high-contrast detecting subtle biological changes associated with lipid metabolism disorders, successfully delineating the presence of fatty deposits in hepatic tissues and identifying the early formation of atherosclerotic plaques in cardiovascular systems. Notably, our dye can selectively image low density lipoprotein (LDL) without highlighting high density lipoprotein (HDL) through appropriate irradiation. The NIR-II dye's ability to target lipoproteins and provide clear imaging could revolutionize the management of lipoprotein-related conditions, facilitating earlier interventions and more personalized treatment strategies.
