Advances in Medicine: Photodynamic Therapy.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 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
Over the past decades, medicine has made enormous progress, revolutionized by modern technologies and innovative therapeutic approaches. One of the most exciting branches of these developments is photodynamic therapy (PDT). Using a combination of light of a specific wavelength and specially designed photosensitizing substances, PDT offers new perspectives in the fight against cancer, bacterial infections, and other diseases that are resistant to traditional treatment methods. In today's world, where there is a growing problem of drug resistance, the search for alternative therapies is becoming more and more urgent. Imagine that we could destroy cancer cells or bacteria using light, without the need to use strong chemicals or antibiotics. This is what PDT promises. By activating photosensitizers using appropriately adjusted light, this therapy can induce the death of cancer or bacterial cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. In this work, we will explore this fascinating method, discovering its mechanisms of action, clinical applications, and development prospects. We will also analyze the latest research and patient testimonies to understand the potential of PDT for the future of medicine.
