Laser as a toolbox for wood processing and functionalization.
Review in MRS bulletin, 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
Wood is a unique natural resource widely utilized for various applications, and its processing has a significant role in enabling its sustainable development. Laser technology has emerged as a powerful and precise tool for the functionalization and processing of wood materials, offering flexibility and sustainability benefits. This article explores the principles of laser-wood interactions, covering photothermal, photochemical, and photomechanical processes. We identified key parameters that influence laser processing efficiency, such as laser pulse, laser wavelength, and wood material composition. It highlights novel applications of laser processing, from enhancing permeability through laser cutting or drilling, to enabling it with new properties or functions via surface laser treatment technologies such as laser-induced graphene. Furthermore, the review discusses future perspectives of laser-assisted wood engineering, highlighting its critical role in driving sustainable practices and innovations in wood materials technology.
