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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly malignant breast cancer with a high metastasis rate, weak targeted therapy effect, and short patient survival period. Current treatments have significant limitations, highlighting an urgent need for novel therapies to alleviate patient suffering. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising antitumor strategy by inducing apoptosis and immune responses through the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, conventional photosensitizers (PSs) face issues such as high cytotoxicity and aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), limiting their clinical applicability. To address these challenges, we developed a novel dual-targeting, bimolecular pathway using an advanced photosensitizer, 2TPA-PIMe, designed based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE). The rationally designed 2TPA-PIMe, incorporating alkylated phosphindole as the core, exhibits AIE properties and efficient ROS generation via both type I and type II pathways, potentially enhancing PDT effectiveness
