Management of rotator cuff injuries using allogenic platelet-rich plasma.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Rotator cuff injuries are a major cause of shoulder pain, affecting the quality of life and producing a significant burden on healthcare systems. Conservative management modalities are prioritized, resorting to surgery only when required. The field of regenerative medicine involving the use of biologics, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), has evolved and shown potential for managing rotator cuff injuries. Nonetheless, limitations including subpar outcomes have led clinicians to question the efficacy of autologous PRP. To circumvent this, the possibility of utilizing a standardized and well-characterized allogenic PRP for RCI has been explored. In this manuscript, we qualitatively present the evidence from in vitro, pre-clinical, clinical and ongoing studies investigating the applications of allogenic PRP in the context of rotator cuff disorders. Administration of allogenic PRP is safe and potentially efficacious to manage rotator cuff injuries, though more adequately powered randomized controlled trials with longer follow-ups are warranted to further establish the efficacy of allogenic PRP and justify its routine clinical use.
