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 (PDT) represents a targeted approach for cancer treatment that employs light and photosensitizers (PSs) to induce the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, PDT faces obstacles including insufficient PS localization, limited light penetration, and treatment resistance. A potential solution lies in nanogenerators (NGs), which function as self-powered systems capable of generating electrical energy. Recent progress in piezoelectric and triboelectric NGs showcases promising applications in cancer research and drug delivery. Integration of NGs with PDT holds the promise of enhancing treatment efficacy by ensuring sustained PS illumination, enabling direct electrical control of cancer cells, and facilitating improved drug administration. This comprehensive review aims to augment our comprehension of PDT principles, explore associated challenges, and underscore the transformative capacity of NGs in conjunction with PDT. By harnessing NG technology alongside PDT, significant advancement in cancer treatment can be realized. Herein, we present the principal findings and conclusions of this study, offering valuable insights into the integration of NGs to overcome barriers in PDT.
