Photooxidative molecular damage under blue light.
Review in Experimental & molecular medicine, 2026. 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
The widespread adoption of artificial lighting has substantially increased human exposure to blue light across various environments, raising concerns about its potential adverse effects on human health. Over the past decades, blue light-induced biological responses have been investigated across multiple levels-from mechanistic studies of photoinduced reactive oxygen species generation to broader physiological consequences. Since all cellular and tissue-level effects ultimately originate from structural and functional alterations in molecular components, a comprehensive understanding of blue light-induced molecular damage is clearly warranted. This review summarizes current knowledge and recent findings on photooxidative molecular damage induced by blue light exposure, with a focus on the primary photochemical mechanisms of reactive oxygen species generation, blue light-sensitive endogenous photosensitizers, and the resulting oxidative damage to key biomolecules, including proteins, DNA and lipids. These insights collectively establish a more integrated framework for understanding how blue light compromises molecular integrity within cells.
