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

Cancer continues to pose a significant threat to human health. While early diagnosis has improved survival rates for many cancer patients, a substantial number still do not achieve the desired treatment outcomes. Therefore, it is imperative to develop novel therapeutic approaches for tumor management. Second near-infrared window photothermal therapy has garnered considerable attention from researchers due to its effective tumor-killing capabilities and minimal side effects. This review commences by summarizing the advancements in second near-infrared photothermal agents, alongside an evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of various photothermal agents. Subsequently, we highlight the benefits of combining photothermal therapy with other treatment modalities. Finally, we present a compilation of reports detailing the application of photothermal therapy in the treatment of various tumor types in clinical settings. In the conclusion, we underscore the challenges and potential research directions associated with photothermal therapy. Our article aims to facilitate interdisciplinary research in the fields of nanomedicine and clinical medicine.
