Near-infrared fluorogenic RNA for in vivo imaging and sensing.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Fluorogenic RNA aptamers have various applications, including use as fluorescent tags for imaging RNA trafficking and as indicators of RNA-based sensors that exhibit fluorescence upon binding small-molecule fluorophores in living cells. Current fluorogenic RNA:fluorophore complexes typically emit visible fluorescence. However, it is challenging to develop fluorogenic RNA with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence for in vivo imaging and sensing studies. To address this issue, we identify and modulate red fluorescent protein-like fluorophores to bind Squash, a highly folded fluorogenic RNA. One of these fluorophores, DFQL-1T, exhibits photostable NIR fluorescence when bound to Squash, enabling RNA visualization in living mammalian cells and mice. With Squash:DFQL-1T complexes, we generate RNA-based sensors for detecting non-coding RNAs and small molecule targets in living mammalian cells and in mice. These studies reveal a fluorogenic RNA:fluorophore complex that can be readily developed into NIR fluorescent RNA tags for in vivo imaging and sensing.
