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

objectivesTo investigate the effects of low-level laser irradiation (LLLI) on viability/proliferation, migration, osteo/odontogenic differentiation, and in vitro biomineralization of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED). MATERIALS AND

methodsSHED cultures were established by enzymatic dissociation from pulps of deciduous teeth. SHED were irradiated with a diode laser (InGaAsP; 940 nm; 0.2 W, continuous mode) at energy fluences 4, 8, and 16 J/cm

resultsStatistically significant stimulation of cell viability/proliferation was observed at all energy fluences, reaching the highest effect for the 4 and 16 J/cm

conclusionsLLLI proved beneficial in promoting SHED biological processes critical for pulp repair in deciduous teeth. Overall, the 8 J/cm CLINICAL RELEVANCE: These results provide insights on a narrow "therapeutic window" of LLLI application in vital pulp therapies of deciduous teeth, paving the way for the establishment of effective clinical protocols.
