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

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a key reactive oxygen species in the innate immune system, is closely implicated in various inflammatory diseases and tissue injuries when its concentration becomes dysregulated. To enable highly selective and sensitive detection and imaging of HOCl, we developed a novel HOCl probe BCPT, engineered on an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) fluorophore platform. BCPT is constructed by conjugating a 4-pyridineacetonitrile unit to a 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT) core, with its phenolic hydroxyl group protected by a highly specific dimethylthiocarbamate moiety. This design confers a significant dual-fluorescence enhancement upon reaction with HOCl, featuring simultaneous turn-on emissions at 452 nm (enol form) and 580 nm (keto form). The keto emission exhibits a large Stokes shift of 180 nm, effectively mitigating self-absorption and inner-filter effects. BCPT demonstrates excellent selectivity, high sensitivity (detection limit: 0.02 µM), and a rapid fluorescence response (12 s). We successfully applied the probe for visualizing elevated HOCl levels in liver tissue sections from acetaminophen (APAP)-induced injury models, highlighting its potential as a detection tool for drug-induced liver injury (DILI).
