1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

There is a tremendous need for prevention and effective treatment of cancer due to the associated morbidity and mortality. In this study, we introduce sonodynamic therapy (SDT), which is expected to be a new cancer treatment modality. SDT is a promising option for minimally invasive treatment of solid tumors and comprises three different components: sonosensitizers, ultrasound, and molecular oxygen. These components are harmless individually, but in combination they generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). We will explore the molecular mechanism by which SDT kills cancer cells, the class of sonosensitizers, drug delivery methods, and in vitro and in vivo studies. At the same time, we will highlight clinical applications for cancer treatment. The progress of SDT research suggests that it has the potential to become an advanced field of cancer treatment in clinical application. In this article, we will focus on the mechanism of action of SDT and its application to cancer treatment, and explain key factors to aid in developing strategies for future SDT development.
