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

The development of acid-responsive fluorescent probes with additional chemical functionality remains of considerable interest in chemical biology. Herein, we report an acid-responsive rhodamine-based fluorescent probe, 2PCA-RhB, which exhibits a pronounced fluorescence "turn-on" response under acidic aqueous conditions through spirolactam ring opening. The probe displays favorable photophysical properties, good aqueous compatibility, and enables fluorescence imaging in living cells. Beyond its fluorescence response, 2PCA-RhB incorporates a 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (2PCA) moiety that enables N-terminal-selective protein labeling, while its allyl carbonate functionality is compatible with palladium-catalyzed Tsuji-Trost allylic alkylation under aqueous conditions. These studies establish 2PCA-RhB as an acid-responsive fluorescent probe with both N-terminal labeling capability and compatibility with aqueous transition-metal-mediated transformation. The present work provides a versatile molecular scaffold for the future development of fluorescent chemical tools for protein modification and bioorthogonal applications in complex biological environments.
