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

Near-infrared photothermal cancer therapy has attracted increasing attention due to its non-invasiveness, high selectivity, and spatiotemporally controllable local treatment. A novel near-infrared photothermal agent was developed, consisting of a plasma membrane-adhesive indocyanine green conjugated with a polycation bearing quaternary ammonium salt groups, called adhesive indocyanine green, for locally administered near-infrared photothermal cancer therapy. In this study, the photothermal effects of adhesive indocyanine green on the plasma membrane were investigated using a rat gastric mucosal cancer cell line. Upon light irradiation, adhesive indocyanine green exhibited a photothermal effect without generating singlet oxygen. Due to electrostatic interaction, adhesive indocyanine green adhered to negatively charged polysaccharides on the plasma membrane of rat gastric mucosal cancer cells. When the cells were irradiated with near-infrared light at 808 ‍nm at 108 ‍J/cm
