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

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as an attractive option for cancer treatment. However, conventional PDT is activated by light that has poor tissue penetration depths, limiting its applicability in the clinic. Recently the idea of using X-ray sources to activate PDT and overcome the shallow penetration issue has garnered significant interest. This can be achieved by external beam irradiation and using a nanoparticle scintillator as transducer. Alternatively, research on exploiting Cherenkov radiation from radioisotopes to activate PDT has also begun to flourish. In either approach, the most auspicious success is achieved using nanoparticles as either a scintillator or a photosensitizer to mediate energy transfer and radical production. Both X-ray induced PDT (X-PDT) and Cherenkov radiation PDT (CR-PDT) contain a significant radiation therapy (RT) component and are essentially PDT and RT combination. Unlike the conventional combination, however, in X-PDT and CR-PDT, one energy source simultaneously activates both processes, making the combination always in synchronism and the synergy potential maximized. While still in early stage of development, X-PDT and CR-PDT address important issues in the clinic and hold great potential in translation. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.
