Determinants of Photodynamic Therapy Resistance in Cancer Cells.
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 9 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
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach owing to its non-invasive nature and minimal toxicity. PDT involves the administration of a photosensitizing agent (PS), which, upon light activation, induces a photodynamic reaction (PDR), leading to targeted cell destruction. However, developing resistance to PDT poses a significant challenge to its effectiveness. Various factors, including properties and administration of PSs, mediate this resistance. Despite the widespread use of substances like 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and protoporphyrin, their efficacy is limited due to restricted tumor penetration and a lack of tumor targeting. To address these limitations, nano-delivery techniques and newer PSs like Aza-BODIPY and its derivatives, which offer enhanced tissue penetration, are being explored. In this paper, we provide an overview of resistance mechanisms in PDT and discuss novel methods, substances, and technologies to overcome resistance to improve clinical outcomes in tumor treatment.
