Photodynamic therapy of balloon-injured rat carotid arteries using indocyanine green.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been used to inhibit intimal hyperplasia in injured arteries. Because of the limited tissue penetration of visible light, an endovascular light source with a guided wire is often required for effective treatment. Indocyanine green (ICG), a near-infrared (NIR) photosensitizer, has been used in PDT for cancers. An extracorporeal light source may be used for shallow tissue because of the better tissue penetration of NIR light. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ICG-PDT using extracorporeal NIR light on the inhibition of intimal hyperplasia in balloon-injured carotid arteries. A balloon injury (BI) model was used to induce intimal hyperplasia of carotid artery. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, BI, BI + 1 × PDT, and BI + 2 × PDT groups. The control group underwent a sham procedure. PDT was performed 7 days after BI. In the BI + 1 × PDT group, ICG was administered 1 h before light irradiation. External illumination with 780-nm light-emitting diode light at a fluence of 4 J/cm
