Immediate effects of photobiomodulation on maximum pressure and endurance of the tongue in adults: a randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in CoDAS, 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
purposeTo verify whether there are immediate effects of photobiomodulation on maximum tongue pressure and endurance.
methodsThis was a double-blind experimental study that investigated the immediate effects of photobiomodulation on maximum tongue pressure and endurance in individuals without functional alterations of this structure. The non-probabilistic sample consisted of 60 individuals of both sexes, aged between 18 and 35 years, divided into four groups. The tested doses were 7, 9, and 11J per point, using infrared wavelength, applied to six points on the dorsal surface of the tongue (three longitudinal points in two rows) and three longitudinal points on each lateral side, totaling 12 application points. The placebo group underwent the same procedures as the others, but the device was not activated. Participants underwent an intraoral evaluation of the tongue using the MBGR protocol to determine eligibility, as well as maximum tongue pressure and endurance assessment using the IOPI, both before and after irradiation. The maximum tongue pressure and endurance were compared before and after photobiomodulation.
resultsThe groups were homogeneous regarding sex, age, maximum tongue pressure, and endurance before irradiation. No differences were observed in tongue pressure or resistance between the pre and post-irradiation moments in any of the tested groups.
conclusionPhotobiomodulation, at the tested doses, did not produce immediate effects on maximum tongue pressure or resistance in adults without structural and/or functional alterations of the tongue.
