Clinical effects of sodium hyaluronate combined with platelet-rich plasma injection on rotator cuff injury in arthroscopic repair.
Article in Regenerative therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: Rotator cuff injury is one prevalent shoulder condition that often leads to pain and dysfunction. The study explored the clinical effects of sodium hyaluronate combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection on rotator cuff injury in arthroscopic repair. Methods: A total of 92 cases with rotator cuff injury were randomly divided into the control group (n = 46, treated with shoulder arthroscopy repair combined with subacromial space injection of sodium hyaluronate) and the experimental group (n = 46, treated with subacromial space injection of autologous PRP on the basis of the treatment in the control group). Visual analogue scale (VAS), Constant-Murley scale (CMS), University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES), and quality of life (QOL) scores, as well as complications were compared in the two groups before surgery and at 3 and 6 months after surgery. Shoulder range of motion (ROM) was measured before and after surgery. Results: VAS scores of patients in the two groups at 3 and 6 months after surgery were lower than those before surgery, and the VAS scores of patients in the experimental group at 3 and 6 months after surgery were much lower than those in the control group (all Conclusion: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and sodium hyaluronate combined with PRP injection can effectively reduce pain symptoms, improve shoulder joint function and shoulder ROM, and improve QOL in patients with rotator cuff injury.
