Blue Light Therapy for Achieving Hemostasis and Accelerated Wound Healing Post Extraction: A Randomized Control Trial.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 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
Introduction: The study investigated the use of LED light therapy in tooth extraction procedures, focusing on its effects on hemostasis and socket healing. LED therapy, typically used for composite resin polymerization, was explored for its potential to induce hemostasis through photo-thermo-coagulation. Methodology: Fifty patients with bilateral extractions were selected. One socket received LED therapy (480 nm wavelength, 20 s), the other served as control. Bleeding cessation time and socket healing after 72 h were evaluated. Results: The LED-treated group showed significantly faster bleeding cessation (30.80 ± 5.22 s) compared to the control group (161.04 ± 25.69 s). After 72 h, the LED-treated sockets exhibited better healing than the control group. Discussion: The study suggested LED photocoagulation promotes rapid hemostasis and accelerates periodontal tissue healing. The mechanism involves vascular spasm, platelet aggregation, and coagulation. LED therapy shows promise as an alternative to traditional hemostatic methods, potentially reducing the need for sutures or local hemostatic agents. Conclusion: LED light therapy demonstrates significant potential in improving post-extraction hemostasis and healing, offering a novel approach in dental procedures and periodontal photo-engineering.
