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

introductionPhotodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive and promising new modality to combat cancer. Upon illumination and in the presence of oxygen, the tissue-localized nontoxic sensitizer generates cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, and as a result, the selective destruction of a targeted tumor may be achieved. The major advantages of PDT compared to traditional standard of care for cancer treatment are higher selectivity and lower toxicity. The high degree of selectivity offered by this modality has been applied to cancer diagnosis by fluorescence. PURPOSE: This article is a review the clinical effectiveness of PDT in the treatment of Barrett's esophagus and the following cancers: esophageal, gastric, biliary tract, pancreatic, and colon. This review highlights the clinical responses to PDT and discusses the possibility of enhancing the efficacy of treatment by combination with targeted therapy.
