Efficacy of ultraviolet-light emitting diodes in bacterial inactivation and DNA damage via sensitivity evaluation using multiple wavelengths and bacterial strains.
Article in Archives of microbiology, 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
Ultraviolet-light emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) have garnered attention for their efficient bacterial inactivation. However, in previous studies, it has been difficult to strictly compare the bacterial inactivation effect of UV irradiation among wavelengths differing by a few nanometers because detailed UV irradiation conditions for comparison, such as the LED characteristics at each wavelength and power supply characteristics, have not been established. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate UV inactivation of 10 bacterial strains across 13 wavelengths (250-365 nm) using a standardized irradiation system previously reported to identify the most effective wavelengths for prevention of bacterial infection and contamination. Bacterial inactivation dose response curves were generated to determine the fluence required to archive 1-3 log
