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

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has gained tremendous traction for a broad variety of indications within regenerative medicine. Despite a lack of standardized literature assessing efficacy and best practice procedures for preparation, PRP has become increasingly utilized for cutaneous rejuvenation. In this review, we highlight the many variations that may affect the quality and effectiveness of PRP, while also outlining the highest quality evidence that exists for facial rejuvenation. In reviewing the use of PRP for this indication, most high-quality evidence suggests subtle to modest clinical improvement, with many studies demonstrating conflicting results. Additional high-quality investigative work with clearly delineated methodologies is needed in order to better understand the role of PRP.
