Effect of a 5-aminolevulinic acid gel and 660 nm red LED light on human oral osteoblasts: a preliminary in vitro study.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a new photodynamic protocol (ALAD-PDT) on primary human osteoblasts (hOBs). The ALAD-PDT protocol consists of a heat-sensitive gel with 5% 5-delta aminolevulinic acid commercialized as Aladent (ALAD), combined with 630 nm LED. For this purpose, the hOBs, explanted from human mandible bone fragments, were used and treated with different ALAD concentrations (10%, 50%, 100% v/v) incubated for 45 min and immediately afterwards irradiated with a 630 nm LED device for 7 min. The untreated and unirradiated cells were considered control (CTRL). The cellular accumulation of the photosensitizer protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), the proliferation, the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and the calcium deposition were assessed. All concentrations (10, 50, 100%) determined a significant increment of PpIX immediately after 45 min of incubation (0 h) with the highest peak by ALAD (100%). The consequent 7 min of light irradiation caused a slight decrease in PpIX. At 48 h and 72 h, any increment of PpIX was observed. The concentration 100% associated with LED significantly increased hOB proliferation at 48 h (+ 46.83%) and 72 h (+ 127.75%). The 50% and 100% concentrations in combination to the red light also stimulated the ALP activity, + 12.910% and + 14.014% respectively. The concentration 100% with and without LED was selected for the assessment of calcium deposition. After LED irradiation, a significant increase in calcium deposition was observed and quantified (+ 72.33%). In conclusion, the ALAD-PDT enhanced proliferation, the ALP activity, and mineralized deposition of human oral osteoblasts, highlighting a promising potential for bone tissue regeneration.
