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 is one of the important microenvironmental parameters of abiotic stress. Abnormal changes in viscosity have been shown to be correlated with pathological activities and diseases of plants. However, current probes may not be suitable for sensing in plants due to their hydrophobicity and the phytochromes found in plants. With this research, we successfully constructed a structurally simple, water-soluble near-infrared fluorescent probe HJA-MQ-D, which can simultaneously monitor dynamic viscosity changes in plants and animal systems. The probe exhibits a relatively long emission wavelength (nearly 700 nm) and large Stokes shift (88 nm), and exceptional viscosity-responsive performances with 140-fold fluorescence intensity enhancement. More importantly, the HJA-MQ-D can image the viscosity fluctuation at the cellular level in plants (onion inner epidermis and mung bean sections) as well as at the whole-plant level (mung bean and peanut seedling). In addition, HJA-MQ-D was used to monitor the viscosity changes in a nystatin-induced zebrafish model. Based on these advanced characteristics, we anticipate that this probe will provide a powerful new tool for cross-species viscosity monitoring.
