The synergistic effects of platelet-rich plasma and negative pressure wound therapy in cavitary infected wounds: a single-centre experience.

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 evaluate the efficacy of the combined application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in cavitary infected wounds, in addition to the parameter settings of NPWT.
methodsThe outcomes of patients with cavitary wounds who received debridement with either PRP plus NPWT (PRP group) or NPWT alone (controls) as part of their treatment protocol were retrospectively compared by examining preoperative and postoperative data on high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil percentage, bacterial cultures, pain (measured using visual analogue scale [VAS] scores), postoperative hospitalization duration, and effective hospitalization days.
resultsA total of 24 patients were included (11 who received PRP plus NPWT and 13 who received NPWT alone). Postoperative hs-CRP levels, ESR, VAS scores, and effective hospitalization days were found to be significantly reduced in the PRP group versus controls. Moreover, the PRP group exhibited a significantly elevated rate of bacterial culture conversion at postoperative day 3.
conclusionsThe integration of surgical debridement with PRP and NPWT in the management of infected cavitary wounds may expedite infection containment and bacterial eradication, stimulate granulation tissue formation, and facilitate cavity closure, offering a novel and uncomplicated approach to wound healing.
