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

Significance: Intralipid, a soybean oil-based lipid emulsion, is widely used in photomedicine to enhance light distribution due to its strong scattering properties. Although the optical characteristics of Intralipid are well documented, interactions with the reactive molecular species (RMS) generated during photodynamic therapy (PDT) and the impact of such interactions on therapeutic outcomes remain poorly understood. We reveal that Intralipid actively influences PDT response Aim: We examined how Intralipid affects the optical and photodynamic behavior of benzoporphyrin derivative (BPD), a clinical photosensitizer, in solution and across four ovarian cancer cell lines. Approach: The photodynamic properties of BPD, with and without Intralipid, were analyzed using fluorescence spectrometry and RMS probes, and PDT-induced oxidation of Intralipid components was characterized using LC-MS. The effects of Intralipid on BPD-PDT were evaluated under various conditions. Results: Intralipid reduced BPD photobleaching and RMS generation, suggesting RMS quenching. Extensive oxidation of Intralipid components was observed following PDT. Finally, Intralipid significantly modified BPD-PDT efficacy across all four cell lines, depending on photosensitizer-light interval, dose, and incubation time. Conclusions: Intralipid acts as a bioactive modulator of PDT response, highlighting the need for further investigations both
