Effects of a violet-excitation light-emitting diode on melatonin secretion and sleepiness: preliminary findings from a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
STUDY
objectivesA new type of lighting using violet-excitation light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with an action spectrum centered at approximately 405 nm was developed. Although violet-excitation LEDs can reduce melatonin suppression compared with blue-excitation LEDs, no studies have compared the effects of violet-excitation LEDs with those of blue-excitation LEDs on melatonin suppression. This study was designed to compare the effects of violet-excitation LEDs with those of blue-excitation LEDs on melatonin suppression, psychomotor vigilance, and sleepiness.
methodsSixteen healthy Japanese males aged 20-39 years were exposed to violet- and blue-excitation LEDs for 3 hours in a crossover randomized manner. The primary outcome was changes in salivary melatonin levels compared with the baseline levels. The secondary outcomes were changes in psychomotor vigilance and the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale. Melatonin suppression was calculated from the difference in the area under the curves between the baseline and intervention.
resultsOf the 16 participants, 15 completed the measurements. The baseline characteristics did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. After adjusting for age, a difference of 16.28 pg/mL in mean melatonin suppression was observed between the violet- and blue-excitation LED groups (-2.15 pg/mL vs -18.43 pg/mL;
conclusionsMelatonin suppression in healthy Japanese males exposed to violet-excitation LEDs was significantly smaller than that in those exposed to blue-excitation LEDs. Our preliminary findings indicate that violet-excitation LEDs may have the potential to reduce the magnitude of blue-excitation LED-induced melatonin suppression.
