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.

Abstract

purposeTo study the use of autologous platelet lysate prepared in a standardized method for the healing of persistent corneal epithelial defects (PED). STUDY

designClinical and experimental investigation.

methodsIn this prospective pilot study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02979912), ten patients with a PED duration of a minimum 14 days were included. Autologous platelet lysate was prepared in a standardized methodology. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles were used to lyse the platelets. Patients were advised to apply the eye drops four times a day and were evaluated at baseline and on days 7, 14, 21, 28.

resultsNo adverse events were reported due to the use of undiluted autologous platelet lysate. A total of 70% of patients had complete re-epithelialization within 28 days. Of these, 40% healed within 14 days (effective group) and 30% within 28 days (partially effective group).

conclusionsUndiluted autologous platelet lysate, prepared according to a standardized methodology, is a safe and effective adjunct therapy for the treatment of PED.
