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

Nanobodies (Nbs), the smallest antigen-binding fragments with high stability and affinity derived from the variable domain of naturally occurring heavy-chain-only antibodies in camelids, have been shown as an efficient way to improve the specificity to tumors for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Nonetheless, the rapid clearance of Nbs in vivo restricts the accumulation and retention of the photosensitizer at the tumor site causing insufficient therapeutic outcome, especially in large-volume tumors. Herein, we develop photodynamic conjugates, MNB-Pyra Nbs, through site-specific conjugation between 7D12 Nbs and type I photosensitizer MNB-Pyra (morpholine-modified nile blue structure connected to pyrazolinone) in a 1:2 ratio. The photosensitizers with long-term retention can be released at the tumor site by reactive oxygen species cleavage after illumination, accompanied with fluorescence recovery for self-reporting the occurrence of PDT. Ultimately, a single dose of MNB-Pyra Nbs demonstrate highly effective tumor suppression with high biosafety in the large-volume tumor models after three rounds of PDT. This nanobody conjugate provides a paradigm for the design of precise long-time retention photosensitizers and is expected to promote the development of PDT.
