UVCeed: Leveraging Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Gamification for Enhanced Ultraviolet C Disinfection.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The growing need for safe and effective surface disinfection solutions has driven innovation beyond traditional chemical disinfectants, which pose challenges including improper application, harmful residues, and environmental concerns. Ultraviolet C (UVC) light has arisen as a chemical-free, reusable alternative, being capable of neutralizing pathogens without leaving residue. However, UVC adoption is hindered by challenges such as ensuring thorough coverage and precise exposure times. This paper introduces the UVCeed Mobile UVC Disinfection Device (Bonutti Technologies, Effingham, Illinois, United States), which leverages augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI), and gamification to enhance the safety, accuracy, and user experience of UVC disinfection. By providing real-time visual guidance and intuitive feedback, UVCeed addresses the limitations of traditional methods, enabling comprehensive and efficient disinfection. The device's innovative integration of technology positions it as a transformative tool in consumer-grade surface disinfection, combining effectiveness, ease of use, and environmental sustainability with applications in surgery and beyond.
