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) provides non-invasive precision for superficial lesions but achieves suboptimal responses in hypoxic tumors such as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Spatially heterogeneous resistance mechanisms pose a major translational constraint for extending PDT applicability. To overcome this limitation, actionable targets were mapped within tumor spatial heterogeneity, circumventing conventional nanomaterial-based hypoxia-reversal strategies with inherent design complexity and protracted translation timelines. Spatial transcriptomic profiling of HNSCC specimens revealed pronounced molecular gradients along hypoxic regions, pinpointing
