Photobiomodulation associated with functional elastic bandaging promotes recovery from tissue necrosis in surgical wounds.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 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
objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of photobiomodulation associated with functional elastic bandaging in reducing wound measurements and improving healing in patients with surgical wound complications.
methodThis is an interventional study. Twelve women were included after breast cancer surgery. The surgical wound assessment was performed using the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool and ImageJ
resultsSignificant reduction in lesion area after the treatment protocol, when comparing T1 x T3 (p = 0.011), T1 x T4 (p < 0.001) and T2 x T4 (p = 0.003), improvement in general wound conditions (p = 0.007), even in the presence of necrosis.
conclusionThe established protocol demonstrates its potential therapeutic effect on healing complications resulting from breast cancer surgery. The physiotherapeutic approach proposed in this study proved to be effective in the recovery from surgical wound complications, with a direct impact on the patient's health status and continuity of cancer treatment. Furthermore, this protocol becomes an alternative for the treatment of these complications, reducing the need for new interventions, which has a direct impact on the patient's physical and emotional health.
