Clinical Outcomes of Meniscus Repair with or without Multiple Intra-Articular Injections of Platelet Rich Plasma after Surgery.

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.
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
Preservation of the meniscal volume is crucial in meniscus repair. The goal of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of repeated intra-articular platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections after arthroscopic repair of a traumatic meniscal tear. We retrospectively reviewed 61 primary meniscal repairs in 61 patients (PRP group: 30; non-PRP: 31) from 2017 to 2018. Patients in the PRP group received repeated intra-articular PRP injections in week 2,4,6 after the primary meniscus repair. Subsequent meniscal repair treatment or meniscectomy, knee arthroplasty, and IKDC changes of less than 11.5 points were defined as healing failures. After following up for at least 24 months, the IKDC score was 75.1 ± 13.6, and the Lysholm score was 80.6 ± 14.9 in the PRP group and 72.6 ± 15.8 (IKDC) and 77.7 ± 17.2 (Lysholm) in the non-PRP group. Healing rates of the PRP and the non-PRP groups were 93.3% (Kaplan-Meier 91.6%) and 87.1% (Kaplan-Meier 84.7%), respectively (log rank test
