Using Short Term of High Power Laser Therapy in Horse's Tendon Injuries.
Article in Archives of Razi Institute, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
High-power laser therapy has been used as a treatment to cure sports injuries; however, there are no controlled standardized studies on its efficacy. Moreover, high-power laser therapy has been applied for the sport horses field. This study aimed to investigate whether high-power laser therapy can cure tendon disorders and reduce the pain in tendon lesions in injured horses and also to examine the effect of laser therapy on injured horses. This retroactive experiential clinical research was performed on50 racing horses between 5 and 15 years old. They were diagnosed with neither superficial digital flexor tendon nor deep digital flexor tendon injuries of the suspensory ligament on either hind or front limbs and were medicated with a high-power laser. The high-power laser was used with a maximum output power of 15000 MW and therapeutic effects were assessed using lameness graded and ultrasound the day after laser therapy (week 2) and 4weeks later (week 6). Results showed that laser treatment was effective and uncomplicated in all injured horses. In addition, significant improvement was observed in ultrasound scores and lameness following high-power laser treatment. There was a progressive correlation between the improvement of lameness and the following parameters; returning tendon survival, normality of tendon tissue and functions in rest, trot, or competition after treatment. According to the results, laser treatment is a good way to eliminate the complications caused by tendon damage.
