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

Photocatalytic proximity labeling (PPL) is a light-controlled technique for spatially and temporally precise mapping of biomolecular interactions. This review classifies PPL platforms into small-molecule catalysts (transition metal complexes and organic chromophores) and genetically encoded photosensitizers, detailing their mechanisms and biological applicationsfrom subcellular proteomics, cell-cell interface tagging to in vivo labeling. We compare PPL with enzyme-catalyzed methods, highlighting its advantages in spatiotemporal control, minimal genetic manipulation, and suitability for primary cells. Current challenges in PPL are also discussed. As PPL methodologies continue to evolve from mechanistic innovation toward essential biological problem-solving, they hold great promise for elucidating dynamic interaction networks with unprecedented resolution in living systems.
