Photobiomodulation in fibroblasts: from light to healing through molecular pathways, omics and artificial intelligence.
Review in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Photobiomodulation (PBM), a non-invasive therapy that uses non-ionizing light in the visible to near-infrared spectrum, has proven to be a promising strategy for promoting tissue repair and regeneration. PBM has its roots in heliotherapy and low level light therapies and works by activating specific molecular pathways in the target cells. Among these, fibroblasts play a central role in mediating wound healing responses. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms of action of PBM, focusing on the effects on fibroblast biology, including modulation of proliferation, migration and extracellular matrix remodeling. Recent advances in omics technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) provide new tools to unravel the complexity of PBM-induced signaling and optimize therapeutic protocols. By integrating data-rich approaches and systems-level analysis, this work highlights the potential of PBM as a precision-guided regenerative modality and underscores the need for further translational studies to support its clinical application.
