Catechin reduces phototoxic effects induced by protoporphyrin IX-based photodynamic therapy in the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane.
Article in Journal of biomedical optics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
<p> <bold>Significance:</bold> Side effects of many cancer treatments are associated with the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in normal tissues. This explains why patients treated by photodynamic therapy (PDT) often suffer from skin photosensitization, whereas those subject to radiotherapies frequently experience damages in various organs, including the skin.</p><p> <bold>Aim:</bold> Catechin, which belongs to the natural flavanols family, is well known for its antioxidant properties. Hence, our main objective was to investigate whether catechin can reduce damages induced by PDT using protoporphyrin IX (PpIX-PDT), an endogenous photosensitizer commonly used in dermatology.</p><p> <bold>Approach:</bold> An <italic>in vivo</italic> model, the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), was used for this study. An amount of 20 μl of a solution containing 5-aminolevulinic acid, a natural precursor of PpIX, was applied topically on the CAM 4 h before PDTs (405 nm, 2.9 mW / cm
