Apoptosis and associated phenomena as a determinants of the efficacy of photodynamic therapy.
Review in Photochemical & photobiological sciences : Official journal of the European Photochemistry Association and the European Society for Photobiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Failure of neoplastic cells to respond to conventional chemotherapy is usually associated with factors that limit access of drugs to subcellular sites, differences in cell-cycle kinetics or mutations leading to loss of drug-activation pathways or other processes that govern response factors. For PDT, efficacy depends mainly on selective uptake of photosensitizers by neoplastic cells, oxygenation levels, the suitable direction of irradiation and the availability of pathways to cell death that are highly conserved among mammalian cell types. While it is possible to engineer PDT-resistant cell types, current evidence suggests that the major obstacles to cancer control relate to drug, light and oxygen distribution. This review discusses some of the factors that can govern PDT-induced cell death.
