Application of Wood's Lamp in Dermatological and Dental Photodiagnostics.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This article provides an overview of the possibilities of using a modern Wood's lamp in dermatological diagnostics. In the experimental part, this study examined the possibilities of the light source in photodiagnostics combined with the photodynamic method (PDT) and determined the lower detection limit of the basic photosensitizer in dermatology-protoporphyrin IX (PPIX). The absorption parameters and fluorescence quantum efficiency of PPIX were investigated, and case studies of patients in clinical conditions were presented. A new application may be the use of a Wood's lamp in dental diagnostics to detect the early stage of caries and to monitor bacterial plaque. Fluorescence area studies were conducted on 21 extracted teeth with different levels of caries. The results showed that changes in enamel demineralization can be detected at a level as low as a 5-10% decrease in fluorescence.
