Platelet-rich Fibrin in Nonhealing Leg Ulcers: A Simple and Effective Therapeutic Option.
Article in Journal of cutaneous and aesthetic surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundNonhealing ulcers can occur due to a variety of causes and are associated with high morbidity, expensive, and prolonged treatment. We conducted this study to determine the efficacy of autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in nonhealing ulcers in various disorders, which is a very cost-effective and safe treatment option. MATERIALS AND
methodsEighteen patients with nonhealing leg ulcers were included. The ulcers were treated with PRF at weekly intervals. The response to treatment was recorded by calculating the area of ulcer at baseline and at every subsequent visit till the ulcers healed.
resultsThe study included 18 patients of nonhealing leg ulcers due to leprosy (
conclusionThe treatment of nonhealing ulcer with PRF is an easy, safe, simple, and cost-effective method.
