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

Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are increasingly explored for tendon regeneration owing to their accessibility and multipotency. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also referred to as Photobiomodulation (PBM), has emerged as a promising non-invasive approach for modulating cellular behavior. However, directing their differentiation into tenocytes remains an ongoing focus of optimization. This study investigates the synergistic effects of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) and PBM on the tenogenic differentiation of ADSCs. ADSCs were cultured and exposed to specific PBM wavelengths (525 nm, 825 nm, and consecutive irradiation) at 5 and 10 J/cm
