Review in JBRA assisted reproduction, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05224726 (Platelet Rich Plasma for the Treatment of Uterine Scar), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used in several areas of medicine due to its ability to promote tissue regeneration by growth factors and cytokines. This review addresses the use of PRP to rejuvenate ovarian follicles and increase the thickness of the endometrium to receive an embryo. PRP is obtained from the patient's own blood (autologous blood) - a fact that determines a lower chance of rejection reactions. Alpha granules of platelets provide and release supra physiological amounts of growth factors and cytokines, which provide a regenerative stimulus in tissues with low healing potential. In the ovary, PRP and its growth factors stimulate vascularization and recruitment of available primordial follicles that could no longer be otherwise stimulated. The rejuvenation of the ovary by PRP infusion aims to obtain new oocytes in ovaries with low numbers of follicles or low follicular reserve markers. In the preparation of the endometrium, PRP is used for its several growth factors that allow tissue proliferation and endometrial thickening, especially in cases of endometria that are difficult to prepare or that fail to reach an adequate minimum thickness (>7mm). To date, there are few studies of greater expression in the literature that support the use of PRP with the two purposes described above. Thus, although promising, the technique must still be validated by larger clinical trials.
