Evaluation of 980nm diode laser as adjunct to flap surgery.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
The additional clinical benefit of diode laser irradiation as an adjunct to open flap debridement (OFD) in the treatment of chronic periodontitis remains uncertain. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the impact of diode laser irradiation during open flap debridement (OFD) for chronic periodontitis. Thirty patients with bilateral probing pocket depths of ≥5mm were randomly assigned to test and control groups. Clinical parameters such as plaque index, gingival index and probing pocket depth showed significant improvement within both groups, but no significant intergroup differences were found, except for reduced postoperative pain in the test group. The diode laser treatment was well-tolerated without complications. Thus, we show the potential benefits of diode laser irradiation as an adjunct to open flap debridement (OFD) in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.
