Platelet Rich Plasma Injection for Soft Tissue Musculoskeletal Pain.
Article in Malaysian orthopaedic journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
introductionTreating soft tissue injuries can be a challenge for physicians as it can be overlooked which can lead to more problems. In recent studies, the use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has been gaining popularity for soft tissue injuries because of its benefits and minimal side effects. This study aims to evaluate the effect of PRP injection on various musculoskeletal soft tissues inflammation. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis is a retrospective study of patients with soft tissue injury who underwent PRP therapy between 2015 and 2018 at an orthopaedic and traumatology hospital. The study collected demographic data including the type of soft tissue injury and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and after the PRP injection. Those data were statistically analysed to identify the significance of PRP.
resultsSeventy-six patients were included, predominantly female, middle aged (40-69 years old) and class one obesity. Most of the complaints (61.8%) were in the lower extremity region. Pain improvements measured with mean VAS score were observed in both acute (3.06±1.28 to 0.8±0.65) and chronic (4±1.75 to 0.97±0.62) cases. There was a significant decrease of VAS score before and after the PRP injection (p < 0.000).
conclusionPRP injection is able to alleviate both acute and chronic pain in soft tissue injuries without additional analgesic.
