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

objectivesPhotodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective cancer treatment that uses photosensitizers, light, and oxygen to destroy malignant cells. Porphyrins, and in particular the cationic derivatives, are the most investigated photosensitizers for PDT. In this context, it is important to study new methodologies to develop efficient cationic photosensitizers for use in PDT. MATERIALS AND

methodsNew porphyrins bearing cationic epoxymethylaryl groups were synthesized and characterized. Their cellular uptake, intracellular localization, and phototoxicity were evaluated in human HEp2 cells, and compared with their methylated analogs.

resultsAll cationic porphyrins were efficient generators of singlet oxygen, with quantum yields in the range 0.35-0.61. The two methylated derivatives (3 and 4) accumulated the most within cells at all times investigated, up to 24 hours. Of these two porphyrins, 4 was the most phototoxic to the cells (LD

conclusionOur results suggest that cationic methylated porphyrin derivatives are promising PDT photosensitizing agents. The epoxymethyl-containing derivatives showed increased efficacy relative to the neutral analogs, and are good candidates for further investigation. Lasers Surg.
