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

Photodynamic therapy with reactive oxygen species production is a prospective treatment to combat cancer stem cells (CSCs). However, the innate drawbacks, including short lifetime and diffusion distance of reactive oxygen species and hypoxia within solid tumors, have become bottlenecks for clinical applications of photodynamic therapy. Here, we develop a mitochondria-targeting hemicyanine-oleic acid conjugate (CyOA), which can self-assemble into supramolecular nanoparticles (NPs) without any exogenous excipients. CyOA is also shown for targeting the mitochondrial complex II protein succinate dehydrogenase to inhibit oxidative phosphorylation and reverse tumor hypoxia, resulting in 50.4-fold higher phototoxicity against breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) compared to SO
