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

Effective antimicrobial preparations, other than antibiotics, are important for the treatment of potentially fatal drug-resistant infections. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the leading causes of hospital-acquired and post- operative infections. Fortunately, the antimicrobial properties of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) against various microorganisms enable its potential use as an alternative to conventional antibiotics. The present work was designed to evaluate the hypothesized antimicrobial activity of PRP against MRSA infected skin wounds. Six adult male dogs were divided equally into control and PRP groups. Unilateral circular full-thickness skin wounds were created then a MRSA suspension was injected locally. Treatment started at 1st week post infection with subcutaneous infiltration of autologous activated PRP every week in the PRP group and with topical application of clindamycin cream twice daily in the control group. PRP decreased wound size and significantly increased wound contractility and re-epithelization, as confirmed by histopathological and immunohistochemical findings. Also PRP treated group showed significant decrease in ROS and redox imbalance with over expression of the TNF-α and VEGFA genes that indicate angiogenesis and maximum antibacterial activity after three weeks. In conclusion, CaCl
