Treatment with Light-Emitting Diodes of Wavelength 863 nm Delays DMBA/TPA-Induced Skin Tumor Formation and Decreases Proinflammatory Cytokine Levels in ICR Mice.
Article in BioMed research international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The popularity of light/energy devices for cosmetic purposes (e.g., skin care) is increasing. However, the effects and underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Commencing in the 1960s, various studies have evaluated the beneficial effects of a light source on cells and tissues. The techniques evaluated include low-level light (laser) therapy and photobiomodulation (PBM). Most studies on PBM used red light sources, but, recently, many studies have employed near-infrared light sources including those of wavelength 800 nm. Here, we used a light-emitting diode (LED) array with a wavelength of 863 nm to treat DMBA/TPA-induced mouse skin tumors; treatment with the array delayed tumor development and reduced the levels of systemic inflammatory cytokines. These results suggest that light therapy could be beneficial. However, the effects were small. Further studies on different skin tumors using an optimized LED setup are required. Combination therapies (conventional methods and an LED array) may be useful.
