Optimization of a Plasma Rich in Growth Factors Membrane for the Treatment of Inflammatory Ocular Diseases.
Article in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The main purpose of the present study is to develop an immunosafe fibrin membrane obtained by plasma rich in growth factors technology (is-mPRGF) with improved mechanical properties that could be applied in patients with inflammatory ocular diseases. Blood was drawn from three healthy donors and centrifuged, and the collected PRGF was activated and distributed into two groups: (i) mPRGF: a PRGF membrane maintained at 37 °C for 30 min; (ii) IS5+30: mPRGF incubated at 37 °C for 5 min and then incubated at 56 °C for 30 min. The content of both membranes was analyzed for several growth factors such as IgE and the complement activation, as well as biological activity on different ocular surface cells. Furthermore, the physical and mechanical characterizations were also evaluated. IS5+30 completely reduced the complement activity and decreased the IgE while preserving the concentration of the main growth factors. IS5+30 induced similar biological activity regarding mPRGF on the different ocular surface cells analyzed. Furthermore, no significant differences in release kinetics or fibrin degradation were observed between both membranes. Summarizing, IS5+30 totally reduces complement activity while preserving the concentration of most growth factors and their biological activity. Furthermore, the physical and mechanical properties of the fibrin membrane are preserved after heat inactivation.
