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

Activated anti-oxidation reactions in cells partially diminish the anticancer effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT), significantly hindering efforts to increase the efficacy of PDT. The expression of transcription factor E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2), an important redox-regulated transcription factor, can be downregulated by Nrf2 siRNA, leading to greatly enhanced PDT effects. However, the efficient co-delivery of photosensitizers and siRNAs remains a key problem because these agents are complex to synthesize, exhibit poor biocompatibility and load drugs with a low efficiency. Herein, we designed a carrier-free and extremely simple strategy to co-deliver a photosensitizer and Nrf2 siRNA to cancer cells. In this nanoplatform, an indocyanine green photosensitizer, siRNA and FeⅡ were self-assembled to form a spherical hybrid structure with a uniform size, high loading ratio and adjustable component ratio. The platform can effectively transfer photosensitizers and siRNAs into cells and effectively inhibit tumour growth
