1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of low power red light (661 nm) in accelerating the wound healing process of an in vitro scratch assay model of keratinocytes. Furthermore, the study aims to clarify the role of light irradiation parameters, optimize them and gain additional insight into the mechanisms of wound closure as a result of photobiomodulation. Wound healing was studied using scratch assay model of NCTC 2544 keratinocytes. Cells were irradiated with a laser at various power densities and times. Images were acquired at 0, 24, 48 and 72 h following the laser treatment. Cellular proliferation was studied by MTT. ROS were studied at 0 and 24 h by fluorescence microscopy. Image analysis was used to determine the wound closure rates and quantify ROS. The energy range of 0.18-7.2 J/cm
