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

As a non-invasive strategy, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) which utilizes sonosensitizers to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) has received significant interest over recent years due to its ability to break depth barrier. However, intrinsic limitations of traditional sonosensitizers hinder the widespread application of SDT. With the development of nanotechnology, various nanoparticles (NPs) have been designed and used to assist sonosensitizers for SDT. This review first summarizes the possible mechanisms of SDT, then classifies the NPs-assisted sonosensitizers and discusses their biomedical applications in ultrasonography, drug delivery, high intensity focused ultrasound and SDT-based combination treatment. Finally, some challenges and future perspectives of NPs-assisted SDT has also been discussed.
