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

Single-component dual-emission fluorophores have recently attracted considerable attention. However, achieving dual emission from two independent emissive states within a simple molecular framework remains challenging. Herein, we report bright dual-emission fluorophores arising from the coexistence of a locally excited (LE) state and a planar intramolecular charge-transfer (PICT) state, and propose a donor-engineering design principle that enables this functionality through straightforward structural modification. Specifically, we screened tertiary amines for installation on the donor unit of highly emissive donor-acceptor-type solvatochromic fluorophores based on a 9,9-dimethyl-2-phenyl-9H-fluorene scaffold, with the aim of enabling two bright emissive states to coexist. As a result, the azetidine derivative [4] and the azepane derivative [7] exhibited clear dual emission with high fluorescence quantum yields (> 0.7) over a wide range of solvents. Notably, only one of the two emission bands displayed pronounced fluorescence solvatochromism, as evidenced by substantial shifts in its peak position and distinct lifetime components. Accordingly, these fluorophores are applicable to ratiometric polarity sensing using the intensity ratio of the two emission bands. Overall, our donor-engineering strategy provides a promising approach to the molecular design of bright dual-emission solvatochromic fluorophores.
