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

Upconversion photodynamic therapy (UC-PDT), which integrates upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with photosensitizers (PSs), presents a promising advancement in the field of phototherapy. However, despite the extensive studies focused on the design and synthesis of UCNPs, there is a paucity of systematic research on the mechanisms underlying the synergistic upconversion photodynamic effects. Here we have synthesized upconversion core@dotted-shell nanoparticles (CDSNPs) and covalently tethered them with two distinct PSs, thereby constructing a dual-PS UC-PDT system with high synergistic photodynamic performance. To unravel the mechanism underlying the synergism, we employed a combination of quantum mechanical calculations and ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy techniques. The results indicate that rare earth oxides play a pivotal role in enhancing the intersystem crossing processes of PSs through modulating their excited electronic states. Additionally, Förster resonance energy transfer between two distinct PSs contributes to the amplification of triplet state populations, thus further enhancing the photodynamic effect.
