1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury is a rare ligamentous knee injury which most commonly occurs due to direct trauma; it represents only 0.65% of knee injuries. On the basis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), PCL injury is divided into surgical and non-surgical. In the last few years we have witnessed an increasing interest in regenerative medicine. The use of innovative techniques allow the reduction of rehabilitation times in sports injuries. Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) is a plasma-derived which stimulate the tissue repair. The objective of our work is to compare the rehabilitation times in PCL non-operative injuries treated with standard conservative treatment and PCL injuries treated with autologous PRP followed by rehabilitation program. We divided patients into two different groups: Group A formed by patients who underwent a standard conservative rehabilitation program and Group B which included patients treated by ultrasound guided PRP injection and following physiotherapy program. Both groups of patients resumed sports activities; however the rehabilitation times for patients which had undergone treatment with autologous PRP injection were reduced compared to patients who underwent a standard conservative treatment.
