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

Prolotherapy injections are becoming increasingly popular as a non-surgical treatment option for many chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Proposed benefits include reduced pain, reduced joint laxity and increased tendon strength. While a number of studies report that prolotherapy reduces pain and increases function for many conditions, the academic evidence remains extremely weak. Here, we discuss a case of a complex intra-articular knee infection in a young, previously healthy, female following prolotherapy injections for management of a partial-thickness anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of its kind describing a potential complication of intra-articular prolotherapy injections.
