Novel near-infrared BODIPY-cyclodextrin complexes for photodynamic therapy.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. 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
To meet the requirements of diagnosis and treatment, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising cancer treatment with less side-effect. A series of novel BODIPY complexes (BODIPY-CDs) served as PDT agents were first reported to enhance the biocompatibility and water solubility of BODIPY matrix through the click reaction of alkynyl-containing BODIPY and azide-modified cyclodextrin (CD). BODIPY-CDs possessed superior water solubility due to the introduction of CD and their fluorescence emission apparently redshifted (>90 nm) on account of triazole units as the linkers compared to alkynyl-containing BODIPY. Moreover, all the BODIPY-CDs were no cytotoxicity toward NIH 3T3 in different drug concentrations from 12.5 to 200 μg/mL, and had a certain inhibitory effect on tumor HeLa cells. Particularly, BODIPY-β-CD exhibited high reactive oxygen species generation and excellent photodynamic therapy activity against HeLa cells compared to other complexes. The cell viability of BODIPY-β-CD was dramatically reduced up to 20% in the concentration of 100 μg/mL upon 808 nm laser irradiation. This architecture might provide a new opportunity to develop valuable photodynamic therapy agents for tumor cells.
