Efficacy of 5% Aminolaevulinic Acid and Red Light on
Article in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundIn this ex vivo study, the aim was to evaluate the effects of ALAD and red light on
methodsA total of 70 extracted, single-rooted teeth were used. The teeth were decoronated at the length of the roots to approximately 15 mm and then instrumented. The apical foramen was sealed by composite resin, and the root canals were infected with a pure culture of
resultsThe best treatment is obtained with 2.5% NaOCl. Except for ALAD + red light vs. 1% NaOCl, a statistically significant difference is recorded for all treatments. The combination of 2.5% NaOCl and ALAD + 7 min irradiation produces an evident killing effect on the
conclusionsThis ex vivo study shows that ALAD gel with light irradiation is an efficacious protocol that exerts a potent antibacterial activity against
