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
backgroundThis study assessed the therapeutic efficacy of intraperitoneal photodynamic therapy (PDT) using photosensitizer activation at two different wavelengths, 405 and 664 nm, in a mouse model of peritoneal carcinomatosis.
methodsThe dark and light cytotoxicity of chlorin e6-polyvinylpyrrolidone (Phonozen) were measured in vitro under 402 ± 14 and 670 ± 18 nm LED activation in bioluminescent human gastric cancer cells, MKN45-luc. Cell viability was measured at 6 h after irradiation using the PrestoBlue assay. Corresponding in vivo studies were performed in athymic nude mice by intraperitoneal injection of 1 × 10
resultsPhotosensitizer dose-dependent photocytotoxicity was higher in vitro at 405 than 664 nm. In vivo, PDT reduced the tumor growth rate at both wavelengths, with no statistically significant difference. There was substantial necrosis, and median survival was significantly prolonged at both wavelengths compared with controls (46 and 46 vs. 34 days).
conclusionsPhonozen-mediated PDT results in significant cytotoxicity in vitro as well as tumor necrosis and prolonged survival in vivo following intraperitoneal light irradiation. Blue light was more photocytotoxic than red in vitro and had marginally higher efficacy in vivo.
