How to improve photodynamic therapy-induced antitumor immunity for cancer treatment?
Review in Theranostics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 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
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising method of tumor ablation and function-preserving oncological intervention, which is minimally invasive, repeatable, and has excellent function and cosmetic effect, with no cumulative toxicity. More importantly, PDT can induce immunogenic cell death and local inflammation, thus stimulating the body's immune response. However, the weak immunity induced by PDT alone is insufficient to trigger a systemic immune response towards cancer cells. To overcome this obstacle, multiple strategies have been investigated, including tumor microenvironment remodeling, tumor vaccines, subcellular-targeted PDT, and synergistic therapies. This review summarizes the latest progress in the development of strategies to improve the PDT-induced immune effect for enhanced cancer treatment.
