Recent advancements and perspectives of photoresponsive inorganic nanomaterials for cancer phototherapy and diagnosis.
Review in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
PTT (photothermal therapy)/PDT (photodynamic therapy) has unique advantages, such as its minimally invasive nature and clinical relative safety, and is considered a promising approach for cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, the therapeutic efficacy of phototherapy is often limited by the limited depth of light penetration and the low targeting of phototherapeutic agents. Recently, photoresponsive inorganic nanomaterials have flourished in the fields of PTT and PDT in cancer, providing a possible approach to enhance phototherapeutic potency. This review summarizes the recent research progress of common photoresponsive inorganic nanomaterials in the field of PTT and PDT and their diagnosis in cancer, involving noble metal nanoparticles, sulfide nanomaterials, oxide nanomaterials, and carbon nanomaterials. It focuses on the therapeutic and diagnostic performance of PTT and PDT of these inorganic nanomaterials and provides strategy improvements for expanding the drug delivery application of PTT/PDT. Finally, the future research and development of photoresponsive inorganic nanosystems for the treatment and diagnosis of PTT/PDT in cancer are discussed, and the possible opportunities and challenges are discussed.
