Treatment planning evolution: Comparing approaches in photodynamic and radiation therapies.
Review in Photochemistry and photobiology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The setups of previous and ongoing clinical trials are based on prescribed PDT doses, PS concentration, and light intensity derived from averages of previous clinical or study populations. It is understood that monitoring of personalized PS and light dose is needed to improve PDT outcomes. Monitoring of photophysical, photochemical, or cytotoxic moieties is common, representing concepts of delivered, absorbed, or equivalent doses similar to those used in radiation therapy (RT). Unlike RT, these dose concepts are not equally well developed and standardized across the PDT clinical indications; however, there is potential to improve PDT treatment setup, planning, and delivery by leveraging methodologies from RT. This review summarizes dose definitions and advancements in RT treatment planning and presents the equivalent dose concepts for PDT, particularly how these concepts can expand on the existing methods for PDT treatment planning. By identifying the major limitations and areas for improvement in PDT planning, the hope is to stimulate preclinical and clinical research studies that can enhance the efficacy of PDT, improving patient outcomes.
