Optimal Light Dose for hEGFR-Targeted Near-Infrared Photoimmunotherapy.
Article in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) is a newly developed cancer therapy that targets cancer cells using a monoclonal antibody-photon absorber conjugate (APC) that is bound to the target cell surface. Subsequent application of low levels of NIR light results in immediate cancer cell death. The anti-tumor effect of NIR-PIT in immunocompromised mice depends on immediate cancer cell death; therefore, the efficacy increases in a light-dose-dependent manner. However, NIR-PIT also induces a strong anti-tumor immune activation in immunocompetent mice that begins soon after therapy. Thus, it may be possible to reduce the light dose, which might otherwise cause local edema while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. In this study, we determined the optimal dose of NIR light in NIR-PIT based on a comparison of the therapeutic and adverse effects. Either one of two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against human epidermal growth factor receptor (hEGFR), Cetuximab or Panitumumab, were conjugated with a photo-absorbing chemical, IRDye700DX (IR700), and then injected in hEGFR-expressing mEERL (mEERL-hEGFR) tumor-bearing C57BL/6 immunocompetent mice or A431-GFP-luc tumor-bearing athymic immunocompromised mice. NIR light was varied between 0 to 100 J/cm
