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

objectiveTo explore the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in treatment of Achilles tendinopathy in rabbits, and provide experimental evidence for the clinical application of PRP in treatment of Achilles tendinopathy.

methodsForty-eight adult New Zealand white rabbits, weighing 2.5-3.0 kg, male or female, were randomly divided into model group (group A), model control group (group B), model+treatment control group (group C), model+treatment group (group D), with 12 in each group. The rabbits were injected with type Ⅰ collagenase to prepare Achilles tendinopathy models in groups A, C, and D, and with an equal dose of normal saline in group B. The blood from the central artery of rabbit ear was taken to preprare PRP by secondary centrifugation in group D. The results of platelet counts showed that PRP platelets reached 3 to 5 times the whole blood. After the model was prepared, the rabbits in groups C and D were injected with physiological saline and autologous PRP at the molding site respectively, once a week, 0.8 mL each time for 4 weeks. At 1 week after PRP injection, the relative hardness (expressed as HRD%) of Achilles tendon was evaluated by ultrasound elastic quantitative imaging detection technique; the maximum breaking load of Achilles tendon was measured by universal electronic tensile testing machine; the contents of collagen type Ⅰ and Ⅲ were determined by ELISA; and the morphology of Achilles tendon collagen fibers was observed by HE and Masson stainings.

resultsAll animals survived during the experiment. The results of ultrasound elastic quantitative imaging and mechanical tests showed that the HRD% and the maximum breaking load were significantly lower in group A than in group B (

conclusionA rabbit model of Achilles tendinopathy can be reconstructed by type Ⅰ collagenase injection. PRP treatment can increase the Achilles tendon hardness and maximum breaking load, up-regulate the expression level of collagen type Ⅰ and Ⅲ, improve the structure of Achilles tendon collagen fiber, and promote the repair in rabbit Achilles tendinopathy model.
