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

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) are light-activated cancer treatments. PDT involves the administration of a photosensitizing agent, which is activated by light of a specific wavelength to generate reactive oxygen species. Alternatively, PTT involves the use of photothermal agents, which are materials that absorb light and convert it into heat. Gold nanoparticles are often used as photothermal agents owing to their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), a key optical property, which allows them to efficiently absorb light and convert it into heat. Graphene, which is a 2D material with extraordinary optical and physical properties and a large surface area, shows great promise both in PDT and PTT as an intrinsic nanoheater or a versatile platform for the immobilization of gold nanoparticles and other functional molecules, including photosensitizers. Moreover, graphene-based derivatives,
