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 and ferroptosis induction have risen as vanguard oncological interventions, distinguished by their precision and ability to target vulnerabilities in cancer cells. Photodynamic therapy's non-invasive profile and selective cytotoxicity complement ferroptosis' unique mode of action, which exploits iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, offering a pathway to overcome chemoresistance with lower systemic impact. The synergism between photodynamic therapy and ferroptosis is underscored by the depletion of glutathione and glutathione peroxidase four inhibitions by photodynamic therapy-induced reactive oxygen species, amplifying lipid peroxidation and enhancing ferroptotic cell death. This synergy presents an opportunity to refine cancer treatment by modulating redox homeostasis. Porphyrin-based nanoscale metal-organic frameworks have unique hybrid structures and exceptional properties. These frameworks can serve as a platform for integrating photodynamic therapy and ferroptosis through carefully designed structures and functions. These nanostructures can be engineered to deliver multiple therapeutic modalities simultaneously, marking a pivotal advance in multimodal cancer therapy. This review synthesizes recent progress in porphyrin-modified nanoscale metal-organic frameworks for combined photodynamic therapy and ferroptosis, delineating the mechanisms that underlie their synergistic effects in a multimodal context. It underscores the potential of porphyrin-based nanoscale metal-organic frameworks as advanced nanocarriers in oncology, propelling the field toward more efficacious and tailored cancer treatments.
