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

Resiquimod, an imidazoquinoline scaffold, exhibits potent immunotherapeutic activity but is associated with off-target effects, limiting its clinical utility. To address this limitation, we developed a novel BODIPY-caged resiquimod that is responsive to red light, combining photocaging and photodynamic therapy functionalities. Molecular docking studies guided identification of the optimal caging site for resiquimod, effectively masking its immune activity. BODIPY-caged resiquimod remained inactive under dark conditions, effectively masking resiquimod's immunostimulatory effects. However, red light irradiation precisely uncaged resiquimod, inducing robust immune activation, even in the presence of
