Platelet-Rich Plasma and the Knee-Applications in Orthopedic Surgery.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purpose of reviewTo consolidate and synthesize the most recent evidence on the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the knee with respect to osteoarthritis, meniscal injuries, ACL reconstruction, total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and high tibial osteotomy. RECENT
findingsPRP has been shown to be more beneficial in the context of knee osteoarthritis compared to both placebo and hyaluronic acid. Direct comparison with corticosteroid injections has been sparsely studied. It has also been shown to improve the clinical postoperative course in meniscal injuries and to a lesser extent TKA. Radiographic improvements without clinically significant benefits have been observed with ACL reconstructions treated with PRP. PRP injections may be more beneficial than other current non-surgical management options for specific knee pathologies. Further research should broaden the knowledge of PRP effects on the knee, and identify the type of PRP, growth factor distribution, and route of administration associated with the most benefit.
