Photobiomodulation and mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium for the repair of experimental critical-size defects.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Orthopedic surgeons face a significant challenge in treating critical-size femoral defects (CSFD) caused by osteoporosis (OP), trauma, infection, or bone tumor resections. In this study for the first time, the application of photobiomodulation (PBM) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium (BM-MSC-CM) to improve the osteogenic characteristics of mineralized bone scaffold (MBS) in ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic (OVX) rats with a CSFD was tested. Five groups of OVX rats with CSFD were created: (1) Control (C); (2) MBS; (3) MBS + CM; (4) MBS + PBM; (5) MBS + CM + PBM. Computed tomography scans (CT scans), compression indentation tests, and histological and stereological analyses were carried out after euthanasia at 12 weeks following implantation surgery. The CT scan results showed that CSFD in the MBS + CM, MBS + PBM, and MBS + CM + PBM groups was significantly smaller compared to the control group (p = 0.01, p = 0.04, and p = 0.000, respectively). Moreover, the CSFD size was substantially smaller in the MBS + CM + PBM treatment group than in the MBS, MBS + CM, and MBS + PBM treatment groups (p = 0.004, p = 0.04, and p = 0.01, respectively). The MBS + PBM and MBS + CM + PBM treatments had significantly increased maximum force relative to the control group (p = 0.01 and p = 0.03, respectively). Bending stiffness significantly increased in MBS (p = 0.006), MBS + CM, MBS + PBM, and MBS + CM + PBM treatments (all p = 0.004) relative to the control group. All treatment groups had considerably higher new trabecular bone volume (NTBV) than the control group (all, p = 0.004). Combined therapies with MBS + PBM and MBS + CM + PBM substantially increased the NTBV relative to the MBS group (all, p = 0.004). The MBS + CM + PBM treatment had a markedly higher NTBV than the MBS + PBM (p = 0.006) and MBS + CM (p = 0.004) treatments. MBS + CM + PBM, MBS + PBM, and MBS + CM treatments significantly accelerated bone regeneration of CSFD in OVX rats. PBM + CM enhanced the osteogenesis of the MBS compared to other treatment groups.
