Trial report in Clinical and translational science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07610967 (Light-based Immunomodulation for Guarding Against Human Respiratory Tract Infections), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

The RD-X19 is an investigational, handheld medical device precisely engineered to emit blue light through the oral cavity to target the oropharynx and surrounding tissues. At doses shown to be noncytotoxic in an in vitro three-dimensional human epithelial tissue model, the monochromatic visible light delivered by RD-X19 results in light-initiated expression of immune stimulating cytokines IL-1α and IL-1β, with corresponding inhibition of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication. A single exposure of 425 nm blue light at 60 J/cm
