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

Cysteine (Cys) plays an essential role in both food processing and physiological functions; however, excessive intake may pose potential health risks. In this work, a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe DCI-NI-Cys, based on naphthalimide-dicyanoisophorone hybrid, was synthesized for detecting Cys. In the design of the probe, the acrylate group was used as the reaction site for Cys. The probe demonstrated remarkable selectivity and high sensitivity toward Cys detection. Specifically, the limit of detection was determined to be 93 nM in fluorescence spectra and 118 nM in UV-vis absorption spectra, respectively. Moreover, a smartphone-based sensing platform was successfully developed by coupling the probe with RGB color analysis software. DCI-NI-Cys proved capable of detecting Cys in food samples such as cabbage, pear, garlic, and celery with satisfactory recoveries, underscoring its potential for real-world applications. Impressively, DCI-NI-Cys is applicable to image Cys in HepG2 cells and zebrafish.
