Comparative efficacy of LLLT and LED therapy on osteoblast proliferation and osteoclast suppression: An in vitro co-culture study.

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
Background: Dental implants are a reliable solution for tooth loss, but challenges remain regarding osseointegration and complications. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), including Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) therapy, has shown potential in enhancing bone healing. However, comparative studies on their effects on osteoblasts and osteoclasts are limited. Aim: To compare the effects of LLLT and LED therapy on osteoblast proliferation and osteoclast suppression in an in vitro co-culture model. Materials and methods: MG-63 osteoblast-like cells and RAW 264.7 osteoclasts were co-cultured on titanium discs. Discs were treated with LLLT (940 nm, 50 mW) or LED (660 nm, 89 mW) for different durations. Osteoblast proliferation was measured by MTT assay, and osteoclast activity was evaluated using TRAP staining and resorption pit analysis. Results: LED therapy significantly enhanced osteoblast proliferation and suppressed osteoclast activity more effectively than LLLT. Optimal results were observed with a 6-min LED exposure. Conclusion: LED therapy shows greater potential than LLLT for promoting osteoblast proliferation and suppressing osteoclast activity, indicating its clinical value for improving bone regeneration and implant integration.
