Effective PDT/PTT dual-modal phototherapeutic killing of bacteria by using poly(N-phenylglycine) nanoparticles.
Article in Mikrochimica acta, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This study investigated, for the first time, the antimicrobial properties of polyethylene glycol-functionalized poly(N-phenylglycine) nanoparticles (PNPG-PEG NPs). PNPG-PEG NPs exhibit high extinction coefficient in the near-infrared (NIR) region; they can convert light energy into heat energy with high thermal transformation efficiency. Additionally, they can generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon light irradiation. Also, PNPG-PEG NPs are not cytotoxic. All these properties make them appropriate for combined dual-modal photothermal and photodynamic therapies. The antibacterial activity of PNPG-PEG NPs was assessed using Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) pathogenic strains. The results revealed that NIR light (810 nm) irradiation for 10 min could kill effectively the planktonic bacteria and destroy Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus biofilms. The results demonstrated that PNPG-PEG NPs represent a very effective nanoplatform for killing of pathogenic bacteria.
