A photothermal ablation strategy for orthotopic ovarian cancer
Article in International journal of pharmaceutics: X, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Photothermal therapy (PTT) shows promise for ovarian cancer, but unclear cell death mechanisms slow its clinical use. Here, we report two-dimensional rhenium diselenide (ReSe₂) nanosheets as a stable, high-performance photothermal agent that triggers ovarian cancer cell apoptosis through a mitochondria-dependent pathway. Under near-infrared light, ReSe₂ generates local hyperthermia. This triggers a rapid burst of intracellular reactive oxygen species, collapses mitochondrial membrane potential, and shifts the balance between pro- and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins. In an orthotopic mouse model, this defined apoptotic cascade strongly suppresses tumors with no detectable systemic toxicity. Our work not only elucidates a clear molecular mechanism for photothermal tumor ablation but also establishes ReSe₂-mediated PTT as a translatable therapeutic strategy, advancing the rational design of photothermal agents based on biological mechanism.
