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

This mini-review reports a brief description of the first experiments conducted by Canti's group on the role of photodynamic therapy in generating immunity against cancer. It highlights for the first time the effective role of PDT in the induction of anti-tumor T lymphocytes and shows that this effect is tumor-specific. It has also been reported how this adoptive immunity can improve the efficacy of chemotherapy. These studies have helped to open an important new field of scientific research on the role of PDT-generated immunity and to stimulate today's important new pre-clinical approaches.
