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
purposePhotodynamic therapy (PDT) with spatiotemporal controlled and noninvasive advantages has obtained growing attention in cancer treatment. Nevertheless, PDT still suffers from self-aggregation-induced photosensitizer quenching and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging in cancer cells with abundant glutathione (GSH) pools, leading to insufficient performance.
methodsIn this study, we develop a versatile nanocarrier (SSNs) with a disulfide-bond-bridged silica framework for enhanced photo-immunotherapy. Such SSNs spatially confine photosensitizers Ce6 in the matrix to prevent self-aggregation. Under the high GSH level of cancer cells, the disulfide-bond-bridged framework was degradable and triggered the exposure of photosensitizers to oxygen, accelerating the ROS generation during PDT. In addition, GSH depletion via the break of the disulfide-bond increased the ROS level, together resulting in efficient tumor killing outcomes with a considerable immunogenic cell death effect in vitro. Importantly, the SSNs@Ce6 accumulated in the tumor site and exhibited enhanced PDT efficacy with low systemic toxicity in vivo.
resultsThe GEN-loaded nanoplatform (Ag-MONs@GEN) showed glutathione-responsive matrix degradation, resulting in the simultaneous controlled release of GEN and silver ions. Ag-MONs@GEN exhibited excellent anti-bacterial activities than Ag-MONs and GEN alone, especially enhancing synergetic effects against four antibiotic-resistant bacteria including
conclusionNotably, SSNs@Ce6-mediated PDT completely eradicated 4T1 tumors when combined with the PD-1 checkpoint blockade. Overall, the confinement of photosensitizers in a biodegradable disulfide-bridged-framework provides a promising strategy to unleash the potential of photosensitizers in PDT, especially in combined cancer photo-immunotherapy.
