Photobiomodulation with LED and laser in repair of mandibular socket rabbit: clinical evaluation, histological, and histomorphometric.
Article in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of LED and low-intensity laser on the healing of rabbit dental alveoli.
methodsA total of 18 rabbits were divided into three groups of six; all rabbits underwent surgical extraction of the first lower right premolar. Following surgery, group 1 received LED irradiation, group 2 received laser irradiation, and group 3 were untreated controls. The initial applications of LED and laser began 48 h after tooth extraction and were given perpendicularly to the dental alveoli. The three groups were clinically evaluated for 18 days in the postoperative period. At 90 days, the rabbits were euthanized and the mandibular fragments containing the healing alveoli were collected. These fragments initially underwent computed tomography scans and bone density was measured in Hounsfield units. Following this, the fragments were processed and stained with hematoxylin and eosin for histological and histomorphometric analysis.
resultsThe results were compatible between the clinical, histological, and histomorphometric parameters evaluated. There were no statistical differences between the LED and laser groups. However, the difference of the average bone density between laser and control group was not statistically significant.
conclusionsIt was found that photobiomodulation with LASER and LED presented effects. However, only the LED demonstrated a beneficial effect on the process of bone repair in the dental alveoli of rabbits.
