Design Considerations for a Surface Disinfection Device Using Ultraviolet-C Light-Emitting Diodes.
Article in Journal of research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation, spanning wavelengths between 200 nm and 280 nm, has proven germicidal qualities and medical, industrial, and environmental applications. The need for new disinfection technologies and the prospect of eliminating mercury-based radiation sources compels research on ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs). UV-LED technology could be used for customized and point-of-use products for disinfection and sterilization. We focused on the design and development of a surface disinfection device using UV-C LEDs, including potential user targets, important design parameters, and final validation methods. Optical and thermal simulations were used to illustrate the design process and associated challenges. A sample device prototype was developed, and microbial validation results are presented.
