Immediate effects of photobiomodulation on maximum tongue pressure: a randomized clinical study.
Trial report in CoDAS, 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
purposeTo verify the immediate effects of infrared laser photobiomodulation on maximum tongue pressure.
methodsThis is a randomized clinical study with 72 healthy adults of both sexes, with a mean age of 24.6 years, standard deviation of 4.6, no craniofacial anomalies, no signs or symptoms of temporomandibular disorder, no contraindications to phototherapy, and who did not continuously use muscle relaxant or anti-inflammatory medications. Participants with lingual frenulum changes were excluded from the sample. Maximum tongue pressure was measured using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) before and after irradiating low-level laser at a wavelength of 808 nm on three points on the anterior portion and three on the posterior portion of the tongue. Participants were randomly allocated into four groups of 18 individuals each: G4, irradiated with 4 J per point; G7, irradiated with 7 J per point; CG, which did not receive irradiation; and PG, subjected to the same procedures as G4 and G7, but without laser activation - i.e., without irradiation.
resultsno statistically significant differences were found between the maximum anterior and posterior tongue pressures when comparing pre- and post-intervention values. Although without statistical significance, the mean values increased slightly in the groups that received irradiation and decreased in the non-irradiated groups.
conclusionno differences were found between the maximum anterior and posterior tongue pressures when comparing the pre- and post-intervention pressure values.
