1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Articular cartilage is an avascular and aneural connective tissue that is frequently damaged due to trauma or degenerative joint diseases, often resulting in arthritis. Its limited intrinsic capacity for self-renewal poses a significant challenge to effective repair. Hence, the development of regenerative strategies is essential to enhance the poor intrinsic healing of cartilage tissue. Photobiomodulation (PBM) has gained increasing attention as a noninvasive, drug-free, and safe approach. PBM exerts photobiological effects that promote cellular responses and reduce inflammatory conditions, all of which are beneficial for cartilage repair. Nonetheless, the efficacy of PBM varies depending on treatment parameters and treated targets. This review first summarizes PBM parameter-dependent outcomes in cartilage regeneration studies. Reported data indicate frequent use of red lasers (600-660 nm, 0-10 J/cm
