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

A disrupted wound repair process often leads to the development of chronic wounds, and pose a major physical, social and economic inconvenience on patients and the public health sector. Chronic wounds are a common complication seen in diabetes mellitus (DM), and often the severity necessitates amputation of the lower limbs. Recently, there has been increasing evidence that photobiomodulation (PBM) initiates wound healing, including increased protein transcription for cell proliferation, viability, migration and tissue reepithelialisation. Here, the hypothesis that PBM at a wavelength of 660 nm and energy density of 5 J/cm
