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) has attracted considerable interest in recent years as an effective and promising approach for tumor treatment. In particular, nuclear-targeted type I photosensitizers (PSs) can directly damage the nuclear DNA of tumor cells, thereby significantly enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of PDT. However, nuclear DNA-targeted PSs are rarely reported owing to the lack of clear design principles. Here, we developed a novel DNA-targeted photosensitizer (Se-PC) for highly efficient tumor PDT. After incubation with CT DNA, the fluorescence of Se-PC was dramatically enhanced, indicating its great affinity with DNA. Additionally, Se-PC exhibited strong superoxide radical (O
