The bactericidal efficacy of femtosecond laser-based therapy on the most common infectious bacterial pathogens in chronic wounds: an in vitro study.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
We investigated the influence of femtosecond laser irradiation on the growth of the two most common infectious bacterial pathogens in wounds; Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as an attempt to validate optimum parameters for a laser-based bactericidal modality to be used clinically. Bacterial cultures were exposed to femtosecond laser irradiation at different wavelengths, exposure times, and laser powers. The source of femtosecond laser was INSPIRE HF100 laser system, Spectra-Physics, which is pumped by a mode-locked femtosecond Ti: sapphire laser MAI TAI HP, Spectra-Physics. After irradiation, bacterial cells' survival was monitored by observing the clear zones of inhibition in cultured agar plates. Results for all strains indicated that the exposure to femtosecond laser irradiation with a wavelength ranging from ultraviolet (λ > 350 nm) to blue laser light (λ < 480 nm), for a period above 20 min and with a power density of ≈ 0.063 W/cm
