Gut Microbiota-Targeted Photobiomodulation Ameliorates Alzheimer's Pathology via the Gut-Brain Axis: Comparable Efficacy to Transcranial Irradiation.
Article in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a major neurodegenerative disorder with limited effective and affordable therapies. Photobiomodulation (PBM) offers a safe, non-invasive treatment strategy, yet conventional transcranial PBM (tc-PBM) is restricted by low skull penetration. To overcome this limitation, gut microbiota-targeted PBM (gm-PBM) has been proposed to modulate the gut-brain axis, though its efficacy and mechanisms remain unclear. Here, six-month-old APPswe/PS1dE9 mice received gm-PBM or tc-PBM (810 nm, 25 mW/cm
