1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Significance: Accurate spectral and radiometric characterization of photobiomodulation (PBM) devices is essential for reliable dosimetry and reproducible therapeutic outcomes. Complex, multilight-emitting diode (LED) systems produce heterogeneous irradiance patterns that complicate dose estimation, underscoring the need for standardized quantitative methods. Aim: To develop and validate a generalizable methodology for the spectral and radiometric characterization of multipanel and multi-LED PBM devices, demonstrated using the ATP38® system. Approach: Spectral properties were measured using an optical fiber-based spectrometer. The radiometric properties were determined by measuring 2D irradiance maps acquired at a 4-cm working distance from a single panel at six wavelengths. A critical element of the method was correcting raw irradiance data for the detector's nonideal angular response, modeled by a Results: Six emission peaks were identified at 454, 525, 594, 627, 729, and 842 nm. The detector angular correction improved the accuracy of the radiometric characterization, and Gaussian modeling of the irradiance enabled its prediction at different working distances. Biological responses correlated with spatial irradiance variations. Conclusions: This framework enables quantitative characterization of the ATP38® device spectral and radiometric properties, supporting accurate light propagation modeling and dosimetry optimization.
