Autologous platelet rich plasma injection can be effective in the management of osteoarthritis of the knee: impact on IL-1 β, TNF-α, hs-CRP.
Trial report 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 12 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
objectiveTo analyze the clinical efficacy of autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and its influence on related biomarkers such as interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP).
method150 study subjects are randomly selected from KOA patients received treatment in the Third Hospital of Bethune Hospital from January 2022 to January 2023. After enrollment, patients are randomly numbered 1-100. 75 patients with odd and even numbers are included in the control group and the observation group, respectively. The former is cured with etocoxib, while the latter is treated with autologous PRP injection based on this. The clinical efficacy, relevant biomarkers (IL-1β, TNF-α, hs-CRP), and Lysholm knee score scale and Fugl Meyer assessment (FMA) scores are compared and analyzed.
resultsThe total effective rate of 94.67% (71/75) in the observation group was higher than 84.00% (63/75) in the other one group (P < 0.05). Before treatment, the comparison in IL-1β, TNF-α, hs-CRP, Lysholm knee joint score, and FMA scale score are with P > 0.05. When the treatment period is at 1 and 2 months, the IL-1β, TNF-α, hs-CRP levels within the group were lower than before treatment, while the Lysholm knee joint score and FMA scale score were higher than before treatment (P < 0.05). When the treatment period is at 1 and 2 months, the IL-1β, TNF-α, hs-CRP levels and the Lysholm knee joint and FMA scale scores in the observation group were lower and higher than those in the other one group, respectively (P < 0.05).
conclusionThe application of autologous PRP injection therapy in KOA patients can significantly improve their levels of related biomarkers, effectively improve knee joint function and motor function, and have good clinical efficacy.
