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

Rational design of fluorescent sensors requires knowledge of the molecular structure of the sensor-analyte complex. We use infrared spectroscopy on isolated sensor-cation complexes allied with density functional theory (DFT) calculations to reveal, for the first time, solution phase structures of crown ether-based fluorescent sensors for group II cations. We show that similar fluorescent responses can arise from different ion binding modes thereby rationalizing the observed differences in UV absorption spectra in benchmark sensors. Finally, we are able to outline a structural explanation for the dramatic water sensitivity of the fluorescent response of these sensors to Ca
