Wireless charging LED mediated type I photodynamic therapy of breast cancer using NIR AIE photosensitizer.
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Due to limited light penetration and dependence on oxygen, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is typically restricted to treating shallow tissues. Developing strategies to overcome these limitations and effectively using PDT for tumor treatment is a significant yet unresolved challenge. In this study, we present a smart approach combining a wireless-charged LED (wLED) with a type I aggregation-induced emission photosensitizer, MeOTTMN, to address both light penetration and tumor hypoxia issues simultaneously. MeOTTMN, characterized by twisted molecular architecture and strong intramolecular electron donor-acceptor interaction, produces high levels of hydroxyl and superoxide radicals and emits near-infrared light in its aggregated state, thus facilitating fluorescence imaging-guided PDT once formulated into nanoparticles. The inhibition of breast cancer xenografts provides compelling evidence of the treatment efficacy of type I PDT irradiated through an implantable wLED. This strategy provides a conceptual and practical paradigm to overcome key clinical limitations of PDT, expanding possibilities for clinical translation.
