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

Lateral Ankle sprain (LAS) is a common sports injury associated with recurrent ankle sprain, chronic ankle instability (CAI) and post-traumatic ankle osteoarthritis (PTOA). Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has been increasingly used for herapeutic applications in sports-related injuries, and is thought to stimulate tissue healing. We reported a case of LAS with complete tear of anterior talofibular ligament, which showed complete healing of ligament and early ankle stabilization after PRP. The healing is supported by dynamic ultrasound images and magnetic resonance imaging. We therefore proposed that PRP may serve as an alternative non-surgical treatment option in LAS in future research, with the potential to prevent the development of CAI and PTOA.
