Light-emitting diode photobiomodulation on rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis: In vitro and in vivo studies.
Review in Photochemistry and photobiology. 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
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are light sources that can be used for photobiomodulation to treat various diseases and clinical conditions. Growing evidence suggests that photobiomodulation is a promising treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) because of its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. However, such evidence is primarily based on studies evaluating low-power laser-based photobiomodulation, and few studies have assessed the efficacy of LED photobiomodulation in the treatment of RA and OA. Thus, this study aimed to review studies on LED photobiomodulation for the treatment of RA and OA, summarizing the irradiation parameters and conditions, and reporting the study types and main results. Studies on the effects of LED photobiomodulation on RA and OA were accessed via PubMed. Data from accessed studies show that LED photobiomodulation has been carried out with red and infrared LEDs based on in vitro and in vivo experimental models. This therapy may decrease arthritic markers, including edema, hyperalgesia, inflammation, cartilage degradation, extracellular matrix alterations, and proinflammatory cytokine levels. LED photobiomodulation could be as effective a therapy as laser photobiomodulation, but further clinical studies are necessary to verify its therapeutic benefits in both RA and OA.
