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

This study aims to investigate the therapeutic value of 660 nm light-emitting diode (LED) light irradiation on the strategies for treating experimental periodontal intrabony defects in vivo. Large-sized periodontal intrabony defects were created bilaterally on the mesial aspect of the maxillary second molars of 48 Sprague-Dawley rats, and the rats were equally divided into four treatment groups with primary wound intention (n = 6/treatment/time point), including open flap debridement alone (OD), barrier membrane alone (MB), xenograft alone (BG), and xenograft plus barrier membrane (MG). Each group received daily 0 or 10 J/cm(2) LED light irradiation. The animals were sacrificed after 1 or 4 weeks. The treatment outcome was evaluated by gross observation of wound dehiscence and healing, micro-CT imaging for osteogenesis, and histological assessments for inflammatory cell infiltration and periodontal reattachment. With LED light irradiation, the extent of wound dehiscence was reduced, wound closure was accelerated, epithelial downgrowth was prevented, inflammation was reduced, and periodontal reattachment was promoted in all treatment strategies. Significant reduction of inflammation with LED light irradiation was noted at 1 week in the groups BG and MG (p < 0.05). Osteogenesis was significantly promoted only in the group OD at both time points (p < 0.05). Our study showed that 660 nm LED light accelerates mucoperiosteal flap healing and periodontal reattachment. However, the enhancement of osteogenesis appeared to be limited while simultaneously treating with a barrier membrane or xenograft.
