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

The review of blood optical and rheological parameters plays an important role in many medical routine diagnosis and therapeutic applications and is the best way to understand the mechanism of action of low-level laser irradiation on biological tissues. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro effect of laser radiation on platelet count and aggregation. Blood samples were obtained from 30 healthy volunteers; each sample was divided into four aliquots, one of them was considered as a control while the other three were exposed to three different laser doses. A wavelength of 532 nm and a low power of 100 mW were used for irradiation with a 4-mm-diameter beam spot. The irradiation times were 1.8, 3.7, and 6.2 s giving doses of irradiation 1.5, 3, and 5 J/cm
