Systemic Effects of Vascular Photobiomodulation on Early Macrophage Recruitment During Skeletal Muscle Repair.
Article in Journal of biophotonics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Muscle injuries involve a complex inflammatory response in which macrophages are essential for proper tissue repair. Dysregulation of this process can impair regeneration. This study investigated the effects of vascular photobiomodulation (VPBM), a non-invasive therapy applied via the caudal vein/artery, on macrophage dynamics in acute skeletal muscle injury. Wistar rats were divided into Control, Injury, Pre-VPBM+Injury, and Injury+Post-VPBM groups. VPBM (780 nm, 40 mW, 3.2 J) was applied preventively or therapeutically. Animals were euthanized on days 1, 2, 5, and 7 post-injury for CD68
