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

Background: Of late, numerous randomised controlled trials report platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to be ineffective with preparation protocols of low platelet yield despite using expensive commercial PRP kits. Objective: This study aims to identify and standardize a preparation protocol for PRP with maximum platelets yield and concentration to obtain favourable results without the use of commercial preparation kits. Materials & methods: Blood samples were collected from 40 healthy volunteers who signed informed consent for participation in the study. The double spin protocol of PRP preparation was analyzed for variables such as centrifugal acceleration, time, and volume of blood processed and final product utilized. The final PRP prepared was investigated for platelet recovery, concentration, integrity, and viability. Each protocol investigated with technical and biological duplicates to avoid reporting and sampling bias. Results: We noted maximum platelet recovery (86-99%) with a consistent 6.4 ± 0.8 times the baseline concentration of platelets with first centrifugation at 100 Conclusion: The preparation of PRP by the double-spin protocol using 10 ml of blood at 100 g followed by 1600 g for 15 and 20 min respectively in a 15 ml tube and using the lower 1/3rd of the final product demonstrated consistent high platelet recovery (86-99%) and concentration (6x) without disturbing the platelet integrity or viability.
