UV C Light from a Light-Emitting Diode at 275 Nanometers Shortens Wound Healing Time in Bacterium- and Fungus-Infected Skin in Mice.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Due to the changes in pathogenic species and the absence of research on topical skin antibiotics, the therapy of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) is facing more and more severe challenges. It is particularly urgent to look for alternative therapies without induction of drug resistance. UV C (UVC) light within the range of 200 to 280 nm is one of the most common techniques used to kill and/or inactivate pathogenic microorganisms. However, the traditional most commonly used wavelength of 254 nm irradiated from a low-pressure mercury lamp is hazardous to human health, being both carcinogenic and damaging to eye tissues, which limits its applications
