Photosensitizers in Motion: Micro- and Nanomotor-Assisted Photodynamic Therapy.
Review in ACS nano medicine, 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
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically relevant and minimally invasive strategy for treating diseases associated with uncontrolled tissue growth, including nonmelanoma skin cancers and microbial infections. Its spatiotemporal selectivity minimizes damage to healthy tissues and limits the emergence of therapeutic resistance, while its versatility enables integration with complementary therapeutic approaches. One emerging direction is the combination of PDT with artificial self-propelled micro- and nanomotors (MNMs). Active MNM motion enhances photosensitizer (PS) transport and localization, while oxygen-generating or oxygen-supplying MNM platforms can partially mitigate hypoxia-related limitations of PDT. This Review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in MNM-assisted PDT, highlighting commonly used PS molecules and strategies for their integration into MNMs to couple photodynamic activity with autonomous propulsion. It examines representative
