Essential Dynamics of an Effective Phototherapeutic Drug in a Nanoscopic Delivery Vehicle: Psoralen in Ethosomes for Biofilm Treatment.
Article in ACS omega, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Appropriate localization of a drug and its structure/functional integrity in a delivery agent essentially dictates the efficacy of the vehicle and the medicinal activity of the drug. In the case of a phototherapeutic drug, its photoinduced dynamics becomes an added parameter. Here, we have explored the photoinduced dynamical events of a model phototherapeutic drug psoralen (PSO) in a potential delivery vehicle called an ethosome. Dynamic light scattering confirms the structural integrity of the ethosome vehicle after the encapsulation of PSO. Steady state and picosecond resolved polarization gated spectroscopy, including the well-known strategy of solvation and Förster resonance energy transfer, reveal the localization of the drug in the vehicle and the environment in the proximity of PSO. We have also investigated the efficacy of drug delivery to various individual bacteria (Gram-negative:
