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

In the process of photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment of tumors, reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a key role in destroying tumor tissues. However, traditional PDT often has limited ROS killing capacity due to hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment (TME) or obstruction by the ROS defense system, resulting in poor efficacy. Therefore, enhancing the killing effect of ROS on tumors is the core of enhancing the anti-tumor effect of PDT. In recent years, many studies have developed a series of strategies to enhance the ability of ROS to kill tumors in view of the limitations of the TME on PDT. This article summarizes the commonly used or innovative strategies in recent years, including not only frequently used methods for hypoxia in the TME but also innovative strategies to inhibit the ROS defense system.
