Blue light-activated 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-bromophenyl)porphyrin for photodynamic eradication of drug-resistant
Article in RSC advances, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 an effective way to deal with drug-resistant bacterial infections. Especially, blue light (BL) mediated PDT (BL-PDT) presents unique advantages in the treatments of skin infection due to the strong light absorption of superficial skin, weak penetration of BL and little damage to deep tissues. However, the photosensitizers used for BL-PDT are very limited, and the ongoing development of novel BL photosensitizers is indispensable. Porphyrins are good sources for developing efficient photosensitizers. Herein, for developing more effective BL photosensitizers, five porphyrin derivatives that can be excited by BL [5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP), 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-bromophenyl)porphyrin (TBPP), 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl)porphyrin (TCPP), 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-fluorophenyl)porphyrin (TFPP), 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-iodophenyl)porphyrin (TIPP)] are subjected to the investigation of PDT against MRSA (methicillin resistant
