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

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) has clearly emerged offering a possible solution that could modify the disease process and offer symptomatic relief in early osteoarthritis of knee. Great efforts are underway to improve PRP products for use in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Upcoming research is focused on the ideal PRP type, dose, frequency of injection and mode of injection. The combination of PRP with biocompatible carriers/scaffolds like gelatin hydrogel and chitosan appear to be promising based on early in vitro and animal studies. PRP in combination with hyaluronate has also emerged to have synergistic and additive effects. This article intends to review the recent trends and advancing ideas for improvising PRP for use in early knee OA treatment.
