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

Purpose: Photo-immunotherapy faces challenges from poor immunogenicity and low response rate due to hypoxic microenvironment. This study presents Rh-PTZ, a small organic molecule with a D-π-A structure, that simultaneously amplifies mitochondria-targeted type-I PDT-dependent immune stimulation for the treatment of hypoxic cancer. Methods: The hydrophobic Rh-PTZ was encapsulated into F127 to prepare Rh-PTZ nanoparticles (Rh-PTZ NPs). The type-I ROS generation ability, mitochondrial targeting capacity, and ICD triggering effect mediated by Rh-PTZ NPs under LED light irradiation were investigated. Based on a 4T1 subcutaneous tumor model, the in vivo biological safety assessment, in vivo NIR fluorescent imaging, and the efficacy of PDT were assessed. Results: Rh-PTZ could efficiently accumulate in the mitochondrial site and induce O Conclusion: The mitochondria-targeting type-I PDT holds promise to enhance photo-immunotherapy for hypoxia tumor treatment and overcoming the limitations of traditional immunotherapy.
