Effectiveness of Photobiomodulation in Reducing Pain of Oral Mucosal Diseases: A Case Series.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Introduction: Pain management becomes important in the treatment of oral mucosal diseases since it can impair the quality of life. Photobiomodulation (PBM) as an alternative therapy, has potency in reducing pain through several mechanisms targeting peripheral nerves in the target tissue. Purpose: To discuss the effectiveness of PBM in the management of four cases of oral mucosal diseases. Case: Four patients, two females and two males, with an age ranging from 24 to 63 years came to the Oral Medicine Department complaining of painful lesions in their oral cavity. Three cases showed ulceration of the oral mucosa and had been diagnosed with recurrent aphthous stomatitis, recalcitrant chronic ulcer, and non-specific chronic sialadenitis. One patient who complained of intense pain and swelling on the right side of the face was diagnosed with post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN). Case Management: PBM was administered in all four cases (976 nm diode laser, three cases with spot size 0.01 cm Conclusion: PBM can be a useful adjunctive treatment to relieve the pain of oral mucosal diseases due to its ability to reduce pain intensity.
