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

Phototherapy based on micro light-emitting diodes (µLEDs) has gained enormous attention in the medical field as a patient-friendly therapeutic method due to its advantages of minimal invasiveness, fewer side effects, and versatile device form factors with high stability in biological environment. Effective cosmetic and medical phototherapy depends on deep light penetration, precise irradiation, and simultaneous multi-site stimulation, facilitated by three-dimensional (3D) optoelectronics specifically designed for complex human matters, defined here as 3D µLEDs. This perspective article aims to present the functionalities and strategies of 3D µLEDs for human-centric phototherapy. This study investigates the effectiveness of phototherapy enabled by three key functionalities such as shape morphing, self-adaptation, and multilayered spatiotemporal mapping of 3D µLEDs. Finally, this article provides future insights of 3D µLEDs for human-centric phototherapy applications.
