Novel optical measurement technique for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy using Scattered Light Integrating Collector (SLIC).
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Advancing new treatment modalities for microbial infections is a priority, given the threat of antimicrobial resistance. Current work includes the development of new non-traditional treatments, including antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). Improvements in the field include innovative technologies that allow screening and optimization of the treatment. In this work it is shown how the Scattered Light Integrating Collector, a novel technology that optically measures bacterial growth in real time, can be used for rapid screening of aPDT using Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) as the light source. This technology allows rapid screening of different concentrations of the photosensitizer and real-time observation of the effect of aPDT on Staphylococcus aureus. Evaluation of aPDT efficacy using methylene blue and OLEDs as the light source showed significant inhibition of the growth of S. aureus (3.06, 3.80, 4.24, 4.98 and 4.84 log
