Photobiomodulation in the management of oral lesions: a targeted, evidence-based approach.
Review in Brazilian oral research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This review synthesizes current literature on laser applications in dentistry, with particular emphasis on the biological mechanisms of photobiomodulation (PBM), dosimetric considerations, tissue interactions, and the clinical management of the most prevalent oral lesions. The oral disorders most frequently investigated for the therapeutic use of PBM were: a) oral pain conditions: trigeminal neuralgia, temporomandibular disorders, and burning mouth syndrome; b) oncology-related conditions: oral mucositis and hyposalivation; c) immune-mediated disorders: recurrent aphthous stomatitis and oral lichen planus; and d) viral infections: herpes labialis. A wide range of laser parameters has shown clinical benefits in the treatment of these disorders. These outcomes are attributed to the anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and tissue repair effects of PBM, which may occur immediately and cumulatively over repeated sessions. PBM therapy is a valuable therapeutic resource in contemporary dentistry and may be successfully applied in a wide range of clinical conditions. Clinical effectiveness of PBM depends on appropriate dosimetry and irradiation parameters according to the biological characteristics of each condition and therapeutic target. Therefore further well-designed randomized clinical trials and protocol standardization are still required to strengthen clinical recommendations and optimize reproducibility.
