Engineering of an endogenous hydrogen sulfide responsive smart agent for photoacoustic imaging-guided combination of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy for colon cancer.
Article in Journal of advanced research, 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
introductionPhotothermal therapy can be synergistically combined with chemotherapy to improve the therapeutic effect for colon cancer. However, conventional therapeutic agents have side effects in normal tissues, limiting their application.
objectivesTo reduce these side effects, a smart agent (Cur@HKUST-1@PVP) whose functionality is triggered by the high content of endogenous hydrogen sulfide in colon tumors was engineered for photoacoustic imaging-guided combination of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy for colon tumors.
methodsAfter reacting with hydrogen sulfide, Cur@HKUST-1@PVP simultaneously generates CuS and releases curcumin. The generated CuS serves as an imaging agent for both photothermal therapy and photoacoustic imaging, while the released curcumin is used for chemotherapy.
resultsIn vivo photoacoustic imaging experiments demonstrated that Cur@HKUST-1@PVP can be used for selectively imaging colon cancer tumors. In vivo experiments in mice for treatment suggested that the endogenous hydrogen sulfide-activated combination of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy has a better treatment effect that photothermal therapy or chemotherapy treatment alone.
conclusionThe endogenous hydrogen sulfide-activated Cur@HKUST-1@PVP agent developed herein shows great potential for the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of colon cancer.
