Effects of plasma rich in growth factors on wound healing in patients with venous ulcers.
Article in Regenerative therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Introduction: Significant evidence suggests that plasma-rich in growth factors (PRGF) favor the repair of chronic wounds, enabling a rapid return to functionality. However, components of PRGF and their effects on persistent ulcers and epithelial tissues are not well characterized. The goals of this research were to analyze the biological properties of platelet-derived factors, to examine their effectiveness on healing of venous ulcers, and to establish a correlation with clinical and sociodemographic data. Methods: For the preparation of PRGF, the centrifugation technique was used, obtaining a 100 % autologous and biocompatible blood sample that was treated with sodium citrate and calcium chloride. The patients were attended weekly at the outpatient clinic for nursing consultation and wound dressing changes, with PRGF application every 15 days. The treatment protocols are described, and follow-up results are reported. Results: Initially, the patients' ulcers ranged in sizes from 4 to 84 cm Conclusions: Using the established protocol for PRGF isolating, it was possible to obtain a product with the presence of the six growth factors related to tissue regeneration and observed a positive response on wound healing following treatment of venous ulcers, with capacity to accelerate re-epithelialization and restore the skin functional integrity.
