The optimization and application of photodynamic diagnosis and autofluorescence imaging in tumor diagnosis and guided surgery: current status and future prospects.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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 diagnosis (PDD) and autofluorescence imaging (AFI) are emerging cancer diagnostic technologies that offer significant advantages over traditional white-light endoscopy in detecting precancerous lesions and early-stage cancers; moreover, they hold promising potential in fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) for tumors. However, their shortcomings have somewhat hindered the clinical application of PDD and AFI. Therefore, it is imperative to enhance the efficacy of PDD and AFI, thereby maximizing their potential for practical clinical use. This article reviews the principles, characteristics, current research status, and advancements of PDD and AFI, focusing on analyzing and discussing the optimization strategies of PDD and AFI in tumor diagnosis and FGS scenarios. Considering the practical and technical feasibility, optimizing PDD and AFI may result in an effective real-time diagnostic tool to guide clinicians in tumor diagnosis and surgical guidance to achieve the best results.
