PRGF Membrane with Tailored Optical Properties Preserves the Cytoprotective Effect of Plasma Rich in Growth Factors: In Vitro Model of Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells.

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 present study evaluates the ability of a novel plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) membrane with improved optical properties to reduce oxidative stress in retinal pigment epithelial cells (ARPE-19 cells) exposed to blue light. PRGF was obtained from three healthy donors and divided into four main groups: (i) PRGF membrane (M-PRGF), (ii) PRGF supernatant (S-PRGF), (iii) platelet-poor plasma (PPP) membrane diluted 50% with S-PRGF (M-PPP 50%), and (iv) M-PPP 50% supernatant (S-PPP 50%). ARPE-19 cells were exposed to blue light and then incubated with the different PRGF-derived formulations or control for 24 and 48 h under blue light exposure. Mitochondrial and cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and ZO-1 expression were evaluated. Mitochondrial viability and cell survival were significantly increased after treatment with the different PRGF-derived formulations. ROS synthesis and HO-1 expression were significantly reduced after cell treatment with any of the PRGF-derived formulations. Furthermore, the different PRGF-derived formulations significantly increased ZO-1 expression in ARPE-19 exposed to blue light. The new PRGF membrane with improved optical properties and its supernatant (M-PPP 50% and S-PPP 50%) protected and reversed blue light-induced oxidative stress in ARPE-19 cells at levels like those of a natural PRGF membrane and its supernatant.
