Antimicrobial efficacy and inactivation kinetics of a novel LED-based UV-irradiation technology.
Article in The Journal of hospital infection, 2023. 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
backgroundUltraviolet (UV)-light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) are energy efficient and of special interest for the inactivation of micro-organisms. In the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, novel UV technologies can offer a powerful alternative for effective infection prevention and control.
methodsThis study assessed the antimicrobial efficacy of UV-C LEDs on Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Listeria innocua, as well as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) and murine norovirus (MNV), dried on inanimate surfaces, based on European Standard EN 17272.
resultsThis study found 90% inactivation rates for the tested bacteria at mean UV-C doses, averaged over all three investigated UV-C wavelengths, of 1.7 mJ/cm
conclusionOverall, the results support the use of LEDs emitting at shorter wavelengths of the UV-C spectrum to inactivate bacteria as well as enveloped and non-enveloped viruses by exposure to the appropriate UV dose. However, low availability and excessive production costs of shortwave UV-C LEDs restricts implementation at present, and supports the use of longwave UV-C LEDs in combination with higher irradiation doses.
