Evaluation of the Disinfection Efficacy of Er-YAG Laser Light on Single-Species Candida Biofilms: Systematic Review.
Review in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 relevance of the current study is to increase the resistance of fungal biofilms to traditional disinfection methods. The aim of the study was to determine how effectively Er:YAG laser light inhibits single-species Candida biofilms. The study involved a systematic review of 57 scientific publications (2015-2024) selected according to specific criteria, followed by an assessment of quantitative and qualitative indicators of colony-forming unit reduction. The results show that under optimal parameters (power 1.5-3.9 W and duration 60-90 s), the Er:YAG laser can reduce the number of viable
