Percutaneous Exposures of volunteers to polychromatic light (480-3400 nm) trigger systemic mechanism of the human myeloma cells growth delay without any effect on bortezomib cytotoxicity in vitro.
Article in Laser therapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimPolychromatic light is actively used in medicine. However, its oncological safety and effect against cytotoxic therapy remains poorly studied. Multiple myeloma (MM) develops in the bone marrow and therefore malignant plasma cells are inaccessible to direct exposure to light. The aim of our work was to study the influence of polychromatic visible and infra-red light (pVIS + pIR) on growth and sensitivity of the myeloma cells to the cytotoxic effect of drug bortezomib (BTZ) through systemic mechanism. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe explored the effect of volunteers blood sera after their 4-daily irradiations with pVIS + pIR light (480-3400 nm) on growth and viability of the human myeloma RPMI 8226 cells in the presence of BTZ at its application in 2 modes: short-term (1 h, 300 nM) and long-term ( 96 h, 5 nM). Viability and proliferative activity of cells was evaluated by MTT assay.
resultsIt was found that photomodified blood sera delayed growth of myeloma RPMI 8226 cells (by 25 % in 48 h and 23 % in 96 h) but had no effect on spontaneous and mitogen-induced proliferation of autologous peripheral blood T- and B-lymphocytes. We also revealed that pVIS + pIR did not change RPMI 8226 cells sensitivity to BTZ.
conclusionThe results suggest the systemic mechanism of polychromatic light and argue in favor of its oncological safety during/after BTZ therapy of MM patients without effect on the drug cytotoxicity.
