IR820 functionalized melanin nanoplates for dual-modal imaging and photothermal tumor eradication.
Article in Nanoscale advances, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Melanin as an endogenous biomolecule is widely applied in the biomedical field, focusing especially on diagnostic imaging and photothermal therapy in cancer treatment. However, its photothermal conversion efficiency, a benchmark in tumor photothermal therapy (PTT), often could not satisfy PTT requirements to some degree, and this greatly influenced its use in photothermal cancer therapy. As for fluorescence imaging, a small-molecule NIR dye as a fluorescence probe is easily and rapidly metabolized
