Fluence and Dose Distribution Modeling of an Ultraviolet Light Disinfection Process for Pathogen Inactivation Efficiency Evaluation.
Article in ACS omega, 2025. 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
This study addresses the need to utilize bench-scale experimental results for ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection on solid food surfaces by proposing a novel framework to evaluate the fluence rate field of arbitrarily placed UV sources to ensure proper disinfection in industrial-scale food processing. Despite extensive research establishing UV fluence values for disinfection of various food types, industrial applications often face challenges due to nonhomogeneous UV distribution. This study introduces a method capable of determining the fluence distribution on solid food and food contact surfaces in both static and moving environments. Additionally, it aids in selecting the appropriate light sources and irradiation times. Our model leverages UV radiation models from different engineering disciplines to determine the UV fluence and dose distribution on the surface of convex objects. This helps to understand and optimize processes for proper decontamination, improved food quality, and a longer shelf life for processed products.
