Topical and intradermal delivery of PpIX precursors for photodynamic therapy with intense pulsed light on porcine skin model.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In order to purposely decrease the time of the photodynamic therapy (PDT) sessions, this study evaluated the effects of PDT using topical and intradermal delivery of two protoporphyrin (PpIX) precursors with intense pulsed light (IPL) as irradiation source. This study was performed on porcine skin model, using an IPL commercial device (Intense Pulse Light, HKS801). IPL effect on different administration methods of two PpIX precursors (ALA and MAL) was investigated: a topical cream application and an intradermal application using a needle-free, high-pressure injection system. Fluorescence investigation showed that PpIX distribution by needle-free injection was more homogeneous than that by cream, suggesting that a shorter drug-light interval in PDT protocols is possible. The damage induced by IPL-PDT assessed by histological analysis mostly shows modifications in collagens fibers and inflammation signals, both expected for PDT. This study suggested an alternative protocol for the PDT treatment, possibility half of the incubation time and with just 3 min of irradiation, making the IPL-PDT, even more, promising for the clinical treatment.
