Assessment of short-term effect of platelet-rich plasma treatment of tendinosis using texture analysis of ultrasound images.
Article in Radiology and oncology, 2023. 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
backgroundComputer-aided diagnosis ( PATIENTS AND
methodsThirteen patients (7 male and 6 female, age 36-60 years, mean age 51.2 ± 5.2) were followed after US guided PRP treatment for tendinosis of two tendons (9 patients with lateral epicondylitis and 4 with supraspinatus tendinosis). Clinical and US assessment was performed prior to as well as 3 months after PRP treatment with validated clinical questionnaires. Tissue response in tendons was assessed by using gray level run length matrix method (GLRLM) of US images.
resultsAll patients improved of tendinosis symptoms after PRP treatment according to clinical questionnaires. Almost all GLRLM features were statistically improved 3 months after PRP treatment. GLRLM-long run high gray level emphasis (LRLGLE) revealed the best moderate positive and statistically significant correlation after PRP (
conclusionsTexture analysis of tendinosis US images was a useful quantitative method for the assessment of tendon remodeling after minimally invasive PRP treatment. GLRLM features have the potential to become useful imaging biomarkers to monitor spatial and time limited tissue response after PRP, however larger studies with similar protocols are needed.
