Platelet-rich plasma alleviates knee arthritis in rats by inhibiting p65.

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
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic joint disease characterized by the degeneration of articular cartilage. In this study, we explored the potential therapeutic effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and identified molecular targets for treating KOA. A rat model of KOA was established via the Hulth method and primary knee joint chondrocytes were isolated to evaluate the effects of PRP and shRNA targeting p65 (sh-p65). ELISA was used to detect inflammatory factors, including IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α. HE staining, Safranin O/Fast Green staining and Masson staining were performed to evaluate the morphology of articular cartilage, followed by detection of p65, COL2A1, ACAN, MMP13, and ADAMTS5 expression. The proliferation and apoptosis of primary knee chondrocytes were detected by the CCK-8 assay and TUNEL staining, respectively. Treatment with either PRP or sh-p65 decreased IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels in the peripheral blood of KOA rats and chondrocyte culture supernatants, increased COL2A1 and ACAN levels, and decreased MMP13 and ADAMTS5 expression. Furthermore, administration of PRP or sh-p65 exerted protective effects on articular cartilage, enhanced the vitality of knee joint chondrocytes, and inhibited apoptosis. Collectively, PRP inhibited inflammation, promoted chondrocyte proliferation and cartilage matrix secretion, and induced cartilage regeneration by suppressing p65 expression; these effects allow PRP to alleviate KOA progression. P65-based targeted therapy administered in combination with PRP might be a promising strategy for treating KOA.
