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

Chronic diabetic wounds affect 15-20% of patients and are characterized by impaired healing due to disrupted hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Low-level light therapy (LLLT) has emerged as a promising noninvasive strategy for enhancing tissue regeneration. Here, we developed a multispectral pulsed LED system combining red and near-infrared light to stimulate wound healing. In vitro photostimulation of human keratinocytes and fibroblasts on biomimetic hydrogels enhanced adhesion, spreading, migration, and proliferation via increased focal adhesion kinase (pFAK), paxillin, and F-actin expression. In vivo, daily LED treatment of streptozotocin-induced diabetic wounds accelerated closure and improved ECM remodeling. Histological and molecular analyses revealed elevated levels of MMPs, interleukins, collagen, fibronectin, FGF2, and TGF-β1, supporting regenerative healing without excessive fibrosis. These findings demonstrate that multispectral pulsed photobiomodulation enhances diabetic wound healing through focal adhesion-mediated cell migration and ECM remodeling, offering a cost-effective and clinically translatable approach for chronic wound therapy.
