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

Platelets play a crucial role in wound healing as they are reservoirs of growth factors and cytokines which play a fundamental role in homeostasis and tissue remodeling. Recently, fields such as dermatology and plastic and reconstructive surgery have become interested in the tissue regenerative properties of these compounds, especially since it promotes wound healing, improves scar outcomes and has rejuvenating effects on the skin and other tissues. We evaluated the effects of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) in full thickness skin graft healing. Our study included 40 male Wistar rats. Skin grafts were assessed macroscopically using planimetry. The full thickness skin grafts in the test group, displayed a lower necrosis rate compared to the control group. Our study displays the potential benefits of using Platelet Rich compounds to facilitate wound healing and integration of full thickness skin grafts.
