Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
Optical radiation pressure caused by the force exerted by photons upon interacting with matter represents a crucial phenomenon for exploring physical and biological processes, particularly in the context of optical tweezers. However, accurately measuring the absolute value of radiation pressure presents a significant challenge owing to its inherently small magnitude. Conventional measurement setups are often complex and costly. This study demonstrates the measurement of radiation pressure using a near-infrared light-emitting diode (LED) in ambient conditions, employing a simple and cost-effective experimental setup. The radiation pressure was quantified by measuring the deflection of a highly sensitive microcantilever, achieving pressure measurements as low as 228 nPa, equivalent to a force of 21.5 fN. This represents the smallest absolute value of radiation pressure measured to date and marks the first successful application of an LED in such experiments under standard atmospheric conditions. The simplicity and affordability of this method make it a promising candidate for integration into compact devices for industrial applications, such as full-scale testing of sensitive pressure sensors used in atomic force microscopy, photoacoustic spectroscopy, and advancing the understanding of physical and biological phenomena.
