Indocyanine Green and Methyl-β-Cyclodextrin Complex for Enhanced Photothermal Cancer Therapy.
Article in Biomedicines, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
A feasible and biocompatible supramolecular complex self-assembled from indocyanine green (ICG) and methyl-β-cyclodextrin (Mβ-CD) was developed for targeted cancer imaging, which enhanced fluorescence-guided photothermal cancer therapy. This study confirmed that the formation of an inclusion complex of the heterocyclic ICG moiety and Mβ-CD inner cavity could result in improved tumor targetability compared with free ICG. The ICG-CD complex could be used as a bifunctional phototherapeutic agent for targeted cancer phototherapy due to the high tumor targetability of the Mβ-CD moiety and effective photothermal performance of the near-infrared (NIR) ICG moiety. Upon NIR laser irradiation, the photothermal effect exerted by the ICG-CD complex significantly enhanced the temperature at the tumor site by 56.2 °C within 5 min. Targeting HT-29 tumors using the ICG-CD complex resulted in an apparent reduction in tumor volumes over the 9 days after photothermal treatment. Moreover, no tumor recurrence or body weight loss were observed after administering a single dose of ICG-CD complex with NIR laser irradiation. Therefore, the administration of the biocompatible ICG-CD complex in combination with NIR laser treatment can be safely explored as a potential strategy for future clinical applications.
