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

Melanoma is a type of aggressive cancer. Recent studies have indicated that blue light has an inhibition effect on melanoma cells, but the effect of photobiomodulation (PBM) parameters on the treatment of melanoma remains unknown. Thus, this study was aimed to investigate B16F10 melanoma cells responses to PBM with varying irradiance and doses, and further explored the molecular mechanism of PBM. Our results suggested that the responses of B16F10 melanoma cells to PBM with varying irradiance and dose were different and the inhibition of blue light on cells under high irradiance was better than low irradiance at a constant total dose (0.04, 0.07, 0.15, 0.22, 0.30, 0.37, 0.45, 0.56 or 1.12 J/cm
