Comparative study of local injections of autologous platelet rich plasma versus corticosteroid in management of chronic plantar fasciitis.

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
Background: Plantar fasciitis is a known degenerative pathology and is a common cause of heel pain. We intend to evaluate the efficacy between locally injected Corticosteroids and autologous PRP in the management of chronic plantar fasciitis patients. Materials and methods: In this prospective randomized controlled study, 70 chronic plantar fasciitis with failed conservative management for 3 months were randomly selected into 2 groups of 35 patients each. Group A received a local autologous platelet rich plasma injection of 3 ml and group B received a local corticosteroid injection of 2 ml. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores were compared between the groups at 15 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. Results: No improvement in pain between autologous PRP and corticosteroids study subjects was noted in the initial period up to 15 days whereas after 1 month, 3 months and 6 months duration, it is seen that autologous PRP injected study subjects showed significant relief in pain compared to corticosteroids Conclusion: PRP was more effective in chronic plantar fasciitis patients compared to corticosteroids with pain relief coming after first 1st, 3rd and 6th month of the injection. Level of evidence: Level 2.
