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

Introduction: This study was to evaluate the efficacy of multiple platelet-rich plasma injections in reflex sympathetic dystrophy following distal radius fracture after previous various treatments have failed. Materials and methods: This comparative prospective study was designed for 64 patients of reflex sympathetic dystrophy developed following distal radius fracture, from January 2009 to December 2020 were enrolled in this study. This cohort of patient was given either four multiple subcutaneous platelet-rich plasma injections at weekly interval ( Results: The patient rated wrist evaluation score for usual and specific activities and EQ-VAS for pain level showed statistically significant greater improvement in group A (42 Conclusion: This study results suggest autologous platelet-rich plasma injections seem to be safe, cost effective, efficacious algorithm treatment for reflex sympathetic dystrophy following distal radius fracture patients where previous treatments have failed.
