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

In this study, a mitochondria-targeting near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe, Mito-V, based on an oxanthrene-like hybrid structure was designed and synthesized, for detecting viscosity with pH-cooperative response characteristics. Upon increasing viscosity, Mito-V exhibits a significant NIR fluorescence enhancement with a high signal-to-noise ratio and excellent selectivity. Under weakly acidic conditions, the viscosity response is further enhanced, demonstrating a pH-cooperative effect that improves detection sensitivity. Cellular imaging experiments confirmed that Mito-V can effectively monitor fluctuations in intracellular viscosity, and co-localization studies revealed its high specificity for mitochondria, with a Pearson's coefficient of 0.89. Furthermore, the pH-cooperative effect on viscosity detection was verified at the cellular level. In vivo imaging in zebrafish successfully visualized viscosity variations, demonstrating the probe's applicability and biosafety for monitoring viscosity in biological systems. These findings indicate that Mito-V holds great potential for studying viscosity-related processes in live cells and organisms.
